Review:
Los de Abajo's band name means "those from below" and represents a statement of solidarity with the oppressed people of the world. For example the group plays benefits for the infamous Zapatista movement, which is fighting to bring a degree of self-determination to the people of Chiapas in southern Mexico. Cybertropic Chilango Power evokes a place where rebel gangs proclaim revolution to the pulse of mambo and merengue rhythms. An eight-piece collective, Los de Abajo at times seem like a semiacoustic Rage Against the Machine, delivering musical manifestos via mariachi brass and percolating percussion. — CalabashMusic.com |
