LP version. This album title translates as "One more chance to succeed in life." Not that they need it. The trio of guitarist
Eblis Alvarez
, bassist
Mario Galeano
, and drummer
Pedro Ojeda
has been successfully carving out a wildly idiosyncratic musical world since the release of their debut album in 2010, pushing the boundaries of instrumental Latin tropical music with bold infusions of psychedelia, dub, minimalism and more. But their journey started a long time before that. All three attended the same high school and have been playing together for three decades, since they were around 15 years old. "We started with punk and heavy metal," Ojeda recalls. "Then we were very interested in Colombian tropical music and traditional music from Colombia and Latin America, and that led us to focus on African music. It's been a long road." Along the way, the unfettered, spontaneous improvisation of jazz has been a crucial touchstone. "When we started playing in an improvised setting, we were very influenced by free jazz from the '60s," says Ojeda. "But now we are more into making music for the dance floor and music that has a beat and a strong feeling to dance to -- especially in this latest album." The music on
Una Oportunidad
stems from the venerable tradition of the groove-based jam session. "All of the tunes 100% come from improvisation sessions," says Galeano. "With this album," Ojeda elaborates, "we went to the studio in the morning every day for a week. Each of us would bring one or two ideas and we would start jamming, experimenting with those ideas. By lunchtime, we had one or two pieces based on those ideas and then, after lunch, we would record them. By the end of the week, we had the eight tracks that are on the record." Recording for the first time in the relaxed surroundings of Galeano's studio, with Alvarez once again mixing and producing,
Una Oportunidad
luxuriates in a relaxed intimacy. And, more than any other album they've released so far, it captures the immediacy of a live performance, with no overdubs or studio magic, just raw, in-the-moment invention.
