Barbès Records is thrilled to be releasing La Sonora Mazuren's album: "Bailando con extraños."
La Sonora Mazuren is the latest addition to the already rich indie-tropical scene out of Bogotá, Colombia. The group draws from cumbia, chicha, guaracha, champeta and other styles mostly from Ecuador, Colombia and Peru. They combines synthesizers and electric guitars with accordion and percussion to create a style indebted to early pioneers such as Polibio Mayorga or Bogota’s own Eblis Alvarez, of Meridian Brothers fame, who also produced their new album. The result is a psychedelic feast reminiscent of the golden years of tropicalia.|

Single T'HASE PNIE available today.
Album available 03/30/23
