Surprising, fresh, neat. That would
be the first three words to describe
the project called The Now Sound
of Mexico. A careful selection
made by The
Lounge King (The Lounge King
Show: Mix
96 FM in Montreal, Luxuriamusic.com
in the USA and Ibero909radio,
Mexico City), who traveled to Mexico
to meet this great new generation
of Mexican artists.
“When I heard the samples,
I was captivated by the freshness,
the humour and a the unique sound-hard
to find this days-of those great young
musicians,” said the Lounge
King.
Mexico has a history full of colour,
music and magic. It is usually associated
with mariachis, sombreros, cactus
and tequila. But, a new generation
of innovative artists, however, is
changing that. A good example is the
project called discos
KONFORT (from where most of
these songs come), which began few
years ago as a non-profit musical
exchange and sound workshop between
its creators. It ranged from the experimental
and unconventional to the chill, ambient
and mood-driven-with its own Mexican
seal.
The album features artists from different
regions of Mexico, such as Mexico
City, Ciudad Juarez, Texcoco, Ensenada
and Tijuana, where they were able
to mix the new musical disciplines
with the richness, humour, urban culture
and history of that country. THE NOW
SOUND OF MEXICO is a perfect example
of the creative energy NOW coming
from Mexico, is a New Sound from this
one-of-a-kind country. Definitely
a limited-edition collectable. Viva
Mexico!
