Insolito Universo La Candela Del Rio
2018 release. La Candela del RÃo is the debut album by Paris-based Venezuelan quartet Insólito UniVerso. In the space of eight tracks, the band fuses traditional Venezuelan styles, such as joropo, merengue caraqueño, or tambores de San Millán, with psych, chanson, and contemporary electronics. Co-produced by The Heliocentrics' Malcolm Catto, the record shows two distinct sides; on the one hand there's euphoric music that begs to be danced to, while on the other, there's melancholy, mystery, and devotion.
