Suelta

Description

With a new album from La Yegros comes the promise of devastating concerts, which are challenges for those who never dance. The singer loosens up the stiffest bodies, radiating her energy as if she were spitting fireballs, with the infectious joy characteristic of South American peoples. Her third album "Suelta," which can be translated as an invitation to let go, even accelerates the fusion of musical genres that make up her personality. She is from Buenos Aires, and her parents are from Misiones, a province in the northeast that pushes its language between Brazil and Paraguay. This enclave practices chamamé (a mix of polka and Guarani music) and sways to Colombian cumbia. These two genres, blended with Andean folklores, are then processed through the lens of Jamaican dancehall and electronic productions, creating a cocktail that only La Yegros holds the patent for. A long-time collaborator since her beginnings, Argentine producer King Coya (Gaby Kerpel), who helped define La Yegros' electropical sound, renews his partnership. This production also features two newcomers, and not just any: Eduardo Cabra, half of the Puerto Rican duo Calle 13, and Dutch artist Jori Collignon, who concocts global beat bombs for Skip&Die. Argentine and a citizen of the world, La Yegros shows that she is a committed artist with a sharp awareness. Designated as the queen of the new cumbia, La Yegros is not ready to abandon her throne.
