SUB POP/NEXT AMBIENCE AURELIO/Laru Boya:

Now this is some damn serious world beat, practically cinematic in it's scope. Aurelio is singing about his heritage in his native tongue so gringos won't know exactly what he's singing about, but his story is one of the heavy duty pan cultural mishaps of the western hemisphere underscoring a tale of man's inhumanity to man. Musically, it's another story. Mixing the m�lange of Afro Carib sounds that inform his heritage, this is way the hell deeper than vacation music and clearly comes from the heart. Oddly though, it leans itself to enjoyment for listeners that don't like to wallow in misery. A killer of an ear opening world beat date, this takes you into Central/Latin American back streets you never knew existed. A wild ride from start to finish. 2  12/28/10 >> go there
