Discrepant / UK / 2016
Chupame El Dedo is a new group formed by Eblis Álvarez (Meridian Brothers) and Pedro Ojeda (Romperayo, Los Pirañas, Ondatrópica).
It was born out from a commission by Detlef Diederichsen, director of the 'House of World Cultures' in Berlin for a Festival called "Evil Music" or "Böse musik" in October 2013. The idea was to recreate a death metal group with influences of tropical music.
Recorded live at the Isaac Newton Studios in Bogota, the album explores grindcore, speed and black metal cliches whilst marrying a tropical rhythm section made of salsa, cumbia, currulao & reggaeton.
The result is pure tropical madness, stylistic dislocation and very very fast drums. Head banging mojitos!
