Biography

The famous Venezuelan duo La Gallera Social Club signs their return with a new album whose evocative name is "Trópico Salvaje", an explosive and cosmic initiatory journey in the districts of his hometown, Maracaibo. It is in this bubbling Venezuelan oil city, crossroads between the Andes, the tropical forest and the Caribbean coasts, that the duo draws its influences. From this mixture, they create their electronic folk: a kaleidoscopic musical fantasy with a contagious groove.At a time when Venezuela is in the grip of incessant political unrest, La Gallera Social Club reveals another face of this territory with multiple cultures by making us experience the theater from this end of the world. “Trópico Salvaje” the soundtrack of a journey where the energy of Latin American traditional celebrations as well as secular Amerindian and Afro-Venezuelan traditions are often thrown into a space-time fault. Here, the drums inherited from Africa and the Indian flutes are combine with steel-drums, the cosmic sounds of the 70’s mix with current digital experiments, to bring out Afro-Latin-futuristic and decidedly danceable music."Trópico Salvaje" appears to be La Gallera Social Club's most complete album. The combo draws up a new sound landscape of Caribbean and Afro-Venezuelan culture bringing a new musical genre. The ten tracks on the album plunge us into an explosively futuristic and psychedelic universe.
