El Guincho - Pop Negro (2010)























ARTIST`````El Guincho
ALBUM`````Pop Negro
GENRE`````
Indie,


Review:
If Pablo Diaz-Riexa’s second album under the name El Guincho doesn’t garner the same attention as the first (Alegranza) did when it arrived out of the blue two years previously, you can hardly blame him. Pop Negro is just as impressive as the debut was. It’s just that the indie landscape has shifted so much over that time span that someone blending all sorts of African, Latin, dance, and pop elements and influences into a whirling, glittery disco ball of sound isn’t exactly enough to stop the presses. In fact, since Diaz-Riexa doesn’t really break any new ground here, some may even dismiss the album as a retread. That would be a big mistake. While it’s true that the basic sonic template of Pop Negro is much the same as Alegranza, this time the songs are more focused and the overall feel is much punchier and direct. The songs seem less likely to spiral off in unpredictable directions.

THIS ALBUM IS REMOVED

Way better than Alegranza in my opinion, and i totally love that videoclip. Have you also noticed that disturbing scene where a panda is been shot at? :)

Many thanks, but there seems to be a password on the fileserve.com archive. Any idea on what that password might be?

Nevermind, found it. The pass, for those who need it, is "mikkisays.net".
