A “delicious, psych-fried take on Latin American dance music” (Exclaim), Empanadas Ilegales blends interlocking cumbia rhythms, hypnotic guitar melodies, and experimental salsa sax lines with surf rock, free jazz, and West Coast psych. Featuring members hailing from Ecuador, Colombia, Argentina, Spain, and Canada, the pulsing Vancouver-based septet’s latest record, Creepy Mambo, pays homage to cumbia cult classics while adding a giddy mix of contemporary experimental synth sounds, slinky dub grooves, and feverish percussion departures.
Ricardo Perez (guitar, effects and vocals), Daniel Hernandez Pinto (bass), Jaime Millan (guitar), Daniel Ruiz (drums, percussion and vocals), Sangito Bigelow (congas), Andrea Milagros (percussion), and Jocelyn Waugh (trumpet).
