Like LOS TUMBADOS' previous 8-track underground hit, 213, the new album, Tekolotes, pushes creativity and MCing into a whole new level. In a period when flowing in Spanish is fast becoming a trend, the MCs mastery of the language and art-form combine to give the album an edge over most others. The groups diversity in musical backgrounds and having paid their dues throughout the long years of underground struggles provide a highly creative musical production that is seldom heard in todays saturated Latin Hip-hop market. The feel of the albums music is magnified by the inclusion of tracks recorded with the live band, prior to their break-up, while others exhibit hip-hop fundamentals. Tapp (Adrian) and Phaser (Rick) are on main vocals and DJ John Doe (Johnny) is the groups Turntablelist.
Tekolotes, distributed by EMI Latino, is available at all fine music stores nationwide.
