Conquistador

Conquistador

Sotomayor fused deep Latin rhythms with luscious electronic textures on their captivating debut. Conquistador finds the duo now drawing from a global palette of influences: throbbing dub reggae given a glittering techno glaze (“Entre Palmeras”), breakneck cumbia strafed by space-age-bachelor-pad synth effects (“Y Mi Voz Se Va”), and woozy Afrobeat that rolls out at trip-hop speed (“Electrico”). Even if they stuck to instrumentals, Sotomayor’s mix-and-match aesthetic would thrill, but once singer Paulina casts her spell, the group’s beat experiments transform into bewitching pop.
