Loma Suyo - Los Andes

About this track

Paloma expands Loma Suyo's sonic world considerably, drawing from the rich musical traditions of world folklore and South America. The record features an extraordinary palette of acoustic instruments — Colombian gaitas, Afro-Colombian drums including tamboras, llamadores and tambor alegres, West African ngoni, mbiras, charangos, tiples, ronrocos, and a rich tapestry of percussion from across the globe. Half the record is sung in Spanish, the other half in English — a natural reflection of who Liz and Ish are, and the beautifully diverse world they inhabit from their home in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York.
