Piranas

Historia Natural Piranas

An avant cumbia meets instrumental rock supergroup featuring someof Bogota's most visionary musicians: Eblis Alvarez (Meridian Brothers), Mario Galeano (Frente Cumbiero, Ondatropica) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo, Sidestepper). Imagine a lysergic encounter between dark Colombian sonics, Konono's distorted trance, Ceramic Dog's sophisticated rawness, tropicalia and an out of control, hacked computer. This is the South-American psychedelic sound of the XXI Century. Retro-futurism at its finest. Although they'd played music together when young, Los Pirañas only came into being as a band 10 years ago. It gave them the chance to explore the complex vitality of Colombian rhythms mixed with Alvarez's unique blend of computer and guitar. A combination of past and future, and a power trio unlike any other.
