Strange title? Not if you listen to La Gallera Social Club‘s fourth album “Tortuga Salvaje”, a surprising journey through the energy of Latin American folk, centuries-old Amerindian and Afro-Venezuelan traditions meeting the cosmic tones of the 70’s and contemporary digital experiments.
We also listen to new singles by Afro Iná (afrobeat from Argentina), Nation Beat (Brazil/New Orleans funk made in Brooklyn), Aceyalone & AfriCali (hiphop, LA/Lesotho), Dengue Dengue Dengue (cumbiatronics from Peru), Dandana (Mandinka funk) ++ new tunes by The Gaslamp Killer (hiphop/jazz) & Amerigo Gazaway (90s hiphop)!
