La Despedida - Spanish for \"The Farewell\" - is a breakup album. A psychedelic, post-apocalyptic meta-breakup album by a band that has broken up more than once. For over a decade, San Lazaro have been playing and writing original Latin music in Melbourne. Unconcerned by the fact no-one around them has any idea what they are talking about, San Lazaro have put together a collection of Spanish language songs that reflects the alienation and uncertainty of 21st century suburban life. The music is a synthesis of far flung elements from all over Latin America's musical history: Afrocuban Rumba, Son Montuno, Peruvian Cumbia from the 1960s, New York Salsa from the 1970s, and more than a few echoes of the Chilean protest-folk movement that was extinguished in the coup of 1973. All the influences all together - unbound by borders or eras. It's not glamorous, unlike much of contemporary Latin music. The simple almost-live production allows for the musicians' craft and identity to shine through. It's distorted and psyched-out and echo-drenched but it always feels like the same band playing in the same room, no matter what corner of the Latin world they're nodding to. This is a band that has been playing together for a long time, and the self-assurance and confidence that goes with that makes La Despedida an ambitious record that feels effortless and natural.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Esperanza de la Rumba \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Amor de Despedida \u003cbr\u003e1.3 Hielo Azul \u003cbr\u003e1.4 La Ola \u003cbr\u003e1.5 No Me Cambie Las Cosas \u003cbr\u003e1.6 Descarga Soledad \u003cbr\u003e1.7 Rompe El Cascaro´N \u003cbr\u003e1.8 Dale Sentido \u003cbr\u003e1.9 Alas Negras \u003cbr\u003e1.10 Ladridos de Perros\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"San Lazaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32415611879495,"sku":"31287685","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2976\/0132\/files\/3383867.jpg?v=1747404549","url":"https:\/\/tower.com\/products\/san-lazaro-la-despedida","provider":"Tower Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
