Those of PIXVAE certainly are. Just like the hybrid peach palm from which it takes its name, this unusual group is the fruit of cross-origins, a space of connections where warm melodies and the ambivalence of Afro-Colombian music meet the energy of rock and the eclectic culture of jazz.Confronting worlds, shattering norms, fusing disparate "traditions," PIXVAE thus embodies an unsuspected alchemy between jazzcore and currulao: a repertoire that shakes perception, stirs the gut, and awakens the imagination.Here, electric power accompanies and sublimates trance-inducing chants, inviting us to "think elsewhere."
