Battle Of Santiago - La Migra (MWPC3217) CD
Toronto-based group the Battle of Santiago combines classic Afro-Cuban rhythms and vocals with a distinctly Canadian post-rock spirit and sensibility.
'La Migra' dives deep into Afro-Cuban waters, mixing Afro-Cuban Yoruba chants with subtle electronica and rumbas with post-rock experimentalism. The sound is more than just Radiohead meets Irakere, there's some cumbia tinged with dub anthemic Latin rock and even the smooth funk.
