Deeply patient and absorbing rhythms are the common denominator in this modernized Latin project, which traverses strains from cumbia to dub. And since a typical track may include mournful horns, gurgling synths, crisp rim-shots and murky bass, such tight beatmaking is key to keeping the peace.
Due out on CrystalTop Music on January 23rd, 2007, Luz Interpretations has been in the works for more than 3 years, as I traversed the country, from deepest Brooklyn to the mountains of Colorado, to the S.F.City by The Bay. Crossing genres from cumbia and bachata to dub and reggae to jazz and soul, Luz Interpretations is a tasty stew, flavored correctly with banging beats, thick horn arrangements, and varied spices from across the CrystalTop fam on every instrument in the symphony.
