Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released through David Byrne's Luaka Bop label, the tropic谩lia pioneer delivers a scathing, rhythmically complex critique of globalization and Latin American exploitation. The album utilizes a wildly inventive array of non-traditional instruments, dissonant tape loops, and stuttering acoustic guitars, creating a brilliant, hyper-modern update of his 1970s avant-garde subversion.
