Psych Latin Amereekah
 

Good morning guys. So this is where we're going to post all the crazy and cool stuff from Latin America. And this means anything because Latin America is the cool version of America. Ok lil' bit of irony but seriously, this is where we are going to post everything from Latin America, simple as that. Feel free to share your discoveries and be happy. :tramp:

ps: Maybe not everything, just newer sounds, cause I'm thinking about opening another thread for old LatAm rock and music in general (from the 60's, 70's and 80's)

All the way from Brazeel:

All the way from Puerto Reeco:



All the way from Mexeeco:



All the way from Cheele:



All the way from Argenteena:



All the way from Peeru:

Yeah, buoy...good stuff there - and here. [cumbia-based, mostly]

omg that's a wonderful thread! I'll try to focus more on contemporary not so cumbia latin music though. But ya, so nice to know this cumbia thread!

Yeah, but don't forget that there's some great modern cumbia as well!

for sure! some good modern cumbia guaranteed in here! :)

well... as they speak French in Québec :)

Trance from Chile:



and a "Bad$ista" from São Paulo:

Contemporary sounds from the psych dimension of Latin America?

Here's something by Pedra Branca from São Paulo, Brazil...

Some cumbia influenced psychedelia from Buenos Aires, Argentina...

haha, bad ass is the demonym for the ones born in São Paulo. yeah she's nice, I already attended a gig of hers also.

maan I just keep wondering how in the heck you know these, I feel glad :beer:

And this is fucqin' dope couldn't help dancing right after the first seconds


Some sounds from Northeast Brazil:

Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, precursors of the Manguebeat

Here's one of my favorite albums released in 2017. The debut album from "Combo Chimbita" rooted in Colombia and currently based in New York City.

WHOA, I didn't expect that level of coolness. I really find crazy how Colombia and Brazil have such similar cultural identities due to African diaspora! Hope Combo Chimbita come some day to São Paulo, they sound great performing live.

Sidestepper, another jewel of Colombian origin:

Some good sounds on these past two pages. I'm familiar with Juana Molina (I have 3 of her albums) and BianaSystem (I have 2 of theirs) but everything else you've mentioned is new to me.

Here's another NYC based group which released one of my favorite albums of 2018...

This one is an album I found in 2003, in a Mexican shop located in Austin, Texas. I took a chance and bought it based on the info on the hype sticker on the cover.
It's a solo project by a Guatemalan guitarist named Juancarlos Barrios. Definitely not a guitar oriented album, though.

The other video I posted here was removed by the band and they don't have anything else uploaded so I decided to substitute it with another song from Combo Chimbita.

The newest album from "Sonido Gallo Negro" out of Mexico City, Mexico...

Some favorites from Chile:

The Chilean Folk of Gepe


The first politicized rhymes of Ana Tijoux as a member of the Hip-hop group Makiza


Recently mined from Youtube, Electronic musician Motivado


And the trippy Föllakzoid

Some minimalist psych-folk from "Loli Cosmica" of Argentina...

Here's a recent album from Venezuelan born musician Ray Lugo with film score composer Jake Fader...

Very good man, I was wondering where does all your taste for Latin music come from :)

Mitú from Colombia, a favorite

I blame "The Girl from Ipanema." Specifically this version...


Definitely not a psych song by any stretch of the imagination but that's almost certainly where my addiction began back in the 60's. Once I heard that song, I was hooked and had to have more. Before I knew what had happened, I was into the Colombian stuff, the Mexican stuff, the Peruvian stuff, etc.
It's become an insatiable life-long hunger for more which never ends. :laughing:

Here's one from Peru. A bit of mostly instrumental avant-garde/electronic/psych with a Theremin featuring prominently throughout. Some of it reminds me of early 70's Pink Floyd, and some of it reminds me of eerie 50's sci-fi film scores...

Oh yeah, haha so good to know that it was Astrud Gilberto's fault. The 60's are great, I'm pretty sure I lived my past life in the 60's :)

More New Brazils

This one is the third album from a group called "Los Espiritus" (The Spirits) out of Buenos Aires, Argentina, with their album titled "Agua Ardiente" (Burning Water)...

Not primarily a psych group, but this song has a bit of a groovy psych vibe to it.

From Mexico City, Mexico...

A couple of groups (both fronted by female vocalists) which aren't primarily psych oriented but do have elements of psychedelia in some of their music...



From Bogotá, Colombia...






And from Mexico City, Mexico...

I was watching that Sotomayor video just last week. Very nice.

I've kinda dropped the idea of "psych" when posting here 'cause
I'm pretty much just dividing new(ish) from old(ish) in these threads.

Haha me too, t'was just a cool name, let's be happy :pimp:

Most awesome duo from Puerto Rico, really like them, cause they made me find out an incredible new music scene going on back there.

so coool

I loved Sotomayor! But it's been a couple of months I've been in love with Bomba Estéreo, here's a colab with Brazilian artist Bnegão:

Heavy-psych, instrumental jams from a 6-piece group out of Lima, Peru...
