about

This album represents a couple years of hard work for us, and in that time we played a million shows, went through multiple personnel changes, side projects, studios, career changes, and a global pandemic. But forget all that, because it's here now and we want to share it with you: Relatos en caravana.

Initiated as an art project funded with a grant from the Tucson Pima Arts Council, we set out to interview friends and allies within the city’s immigrant community, with the idea of sharing their stories and experiences by weaving them into the lyrics and musical inspiration for a song cycle about frontera life. The end result is what you have here, a genre-spanning concept album rooted in the relentless guacharaca of cumbias, and including detours through salsa, huapongo, norteño, funk, whatever, we threw it all in there, sometimes all in the same song. This is our love letter to Tucson, the city that birthed us, and the people that make it the place that it is. The joke we like to make is that this is our “progressive cumbia” album, but don’t worry, it’s still made for the dancefloor. See you out there soon, we hope. <3 Abrazos.
