Bogota's Meridian Brothers play futurist electro-rock, melding historic and modern experimental Latin rhythms and genres. Composer/multi-instrumentalist Eblis Álvarez writes, plays, arranges, and records Meridian Brothers' albums solo and performs live with a band. The irreverent music mixes electronic and organic instrumentation, South American, Caribbean, and Mexican rhythms and folk traditions. Their 2006 debut, El Advenimiento del Castillo Mujer, showcased "abstract folk music" inspired by the experiments of Bogota's traditional musical collectives, using mutant cumbia and currulao. Desesperanza, their 2012 Soundway debut, was devised as a salsa concept album but went far afield. 2014's Salvadora Robot offered a clattering meld of rhythms, edgy guitars, and loopy keyboards that re-visioned vintage vallenato. 2019's quirky ¿Dónde Estás María? employed a prominent cello atop multi-tracked Latin rhythms exploring cumbia, reggaeton, and Andean huaynos. 2022's El Grupo Renaciamiento was the first release from New York's legendary Latin label, Ansonia Records, in three decades.
