New York-based world music collective Peliroja plays LPR this Wednesday, September 10th. Guitarist and producer Jacob Plasse has corralled some great musicians from Los Hacheros, the Daptones and Pedrito Martinez Group for Peliroja. At Wednesday’s show they’ll be celebrating the resulting debut album, Injusticia, which was released by Chulo Records last month. Here’s a bit more from Wax Poetics:
“Produced and cowritten by Plasse, Injusticia was recorded live to tape at his studio in Brooklyn, in the spirit of the music he was raised on. The groove to this music is deep and heard in the way the Daptones’ rhythm section—drummer Homer Steinweiss and bassist Nick Movshon—play off the polyrhythms of Carlos Padron’s timbales and Jhair Salas’s congas, forming a new fusion of old sounds. Jainardo Batista’s vocals soar over these rhythms, propelled forward by Mike Eckroth’s mercurial arrangements.”
And here’s the Injusticia stream:
