Show Notes
The man behind Meridian Brothers on the highly organized method he uses to produce his scrambled takes on Latin American musical traditions.
Eblis Álvarez's music under the Meridian Brothers banner mines cumbia, salsa, and other traditions, but his outlandishly creative imagination and skill with electronics produces music that exists beyond any particular genre.
Álvarez discussed "Mi Pregunto" from Mi Latinoamérica Sufre. His newest album is Ruido Tovar, a collaboration between Meridian Brothers and Mexican Institute of Sound.
