Glitterbeat / Germany / 2025
Colombian avant-Latin trio Los Pirañas – Eblis Álvarez, Mario Galeano and Pedro Ojeda – return with Una Oportunidad más de triunfar en la vida, their most adventurous and immediate album yet. Improvised live in the studio with no overdubs, the record captures the raw energy of their groove-driven sessions, blending cumbia, tropical rhythms, psychedelia, dub, minimalism and West African highlife into a uniquely inventive sound. Longtime collaborators since their school-days punk and metal bands, the trio channel three decades of musical exploration into eight vibrant tracks full of shifting loops, pulsing beats and bold experimentations. Eclectic, deeply rhythmic and joyfully unpredictable, the album showcases Los Pirañas at the cutting edge of new Latin music—thrilling, forward-looking and irresistibly danceable.
