Hello sonoramicos! Hope your year is off to a killer start, we’ve gotten ourselves into the studio to record our first podcast of 2014. In this edition we look at  the current vogue in psychedelic tendencies that has permeated some Latin contemporary sounds. Bands like Los Pirañas (Colombia), La Mecanica Popular (Brooklyn), among others are tapping into older modes of production and technology at times, and revisiting the sounds of the 60’s and 70’s and reinterpreting them for the 21st century.

Disfruta la musica!
