“Even though I’m proud to be Puerto Rican, somehow it’s not fitting for me to just sing about my experiences as an immigrant from there,” says Abraham Gomez-Delgado, the man behind Latin rock hybrid band Zemog El Gallo Bueno, which recently moved from Boston to NYC. “It’s much more important to use Puerto Rico as a metaphor for what is going on everywhere in the world.”  Zemog El Gallo Bueno’s upcoming CD, Cama de la Conga (The Bed of the Conga), anthropomorphizes the Latin drum, turning it on its head by putting it to bed. “People often think of hot Latin music,” jokes Gomez-Delgado, in his best Speedy Gonzales Latin stereotype voice. “I like the idea of a conga chilling out, having rest. The conga is one of the anchors of Latin music, but my music to some is backwards Latin music. So you have to see the other side of the conga. It has a life other than the nightclub. It needs to make love, be left alone, sleep and dream.”
