Afro Poster
The burgeoning genre of Latintronica has already combined shimmering electronica soundscapes with Brazilian bossa nova, Argentine tango, Mexican banda sinaloense and Colombian cumbia. So it was only a matter of time before a collective of trendy musical gourmets attempted a similar fusion with the rootsy folklore of Peru: the Afro-Peruvian sound made famous in this country by Susana Baca. That collective is Novalima, and its four members, who live in different corners of the world, have been successful in creating yet another Latintronica sub-genre. At times, the group's choices are a bit shallow (a dub version of the classic "Toro Mata" is strangely lifeless), but for the most part, Novalima strikes the perfect balance between reverential homage and joyous futurism. "Mayoral" is an irresistible dancefloor stomper, whereas the atmospheric "Mandinga" mixes crystalline female vocals with nostalgic touches of muted trumpet. Novalima's most inspired idea was to include guest spots by seminal artists from the Afro-Peruvian field such as singer Lucila Campos. Afro manages to be comfortingly authentic and playfully innovative at the same time. --Ernesto LechnerPop Music CDs
