LP version. Gatefold sleeve.
Compro Oro
; a psychedelic underground road trip to Africa, the Middle East and the Americas via Belgium. On the band's
Suburban Exotica
, the spirit of
Cal Tjader
,
Mulatu Astatke
, or
Marc Ribot
is never far away. One of the leading bands in the ever-expanding new wave of Belgian jazz, Compro Oro's wayward and psychedelic approach to a broad range of sounds has gained them a devoted fan base since the band's formation in 2014. Produced by Ghent-based multi-instrumentalist
Dijf Sanders
,
Suburban Exotica
digs deep into several ethnic music traditions, leaving the listener enthralled in dark grooves and rabid psychedelica. From the danceable beats and colorful sounds of "Miami New Wave", the exotic rhythms and textures of "10 Dollar Jeans Jacket", and the curious vibraphone infusions and wild guitar riffs of "Rastapopoulos", to the heady, bass-laden mover and shaker "Lalibela", and traditional Latin and Cuban rhythms of "Dark Crystal", Compro Oro offer wild, profound, and uncanny flavors that explore the best of Afro-Cuban music and jazz-tinged psychedelia.
Suburban Exotica
features drummer, keyboardist, and percussionist
Joachim Cooder
, son of guitar legend
Ry Cooder
who played on both the landmark
Buena Vista Social Club
albums and the
Manuel Galban
spin-off,
Mambo Sinuendo
. He adds percussion and his effects-laden electric mbira to three tracks on the album: "Miami New Wave", "Rastapopoulos", and "Dark Crystal". "I had a great time playing on this record. Compro Oro blends together so many interesting rhythms and styles that I never knew what was coming next. I like to work that way." On
Suburban Exotica
, Compro Oro's
Wim Segers
adds, "Thanks to
Bart
(
Vervaeck
) and saxophonist
Nathan Daems
(
Black Flower
), I've discovered Arab and Turkish music. I've learned to embrace my own neighborhood. When you live in this part of Ghent, Eastern rhythms are the beat of the street." Vervaeck chips in, "We aren't Cuban; we aren't Morocccan --we know that. We just sail from one coast to another. Finding our own place."
