Album Review: Centavrvs Claim Musical Unity In 'Somos Uno'
The Latin Grammy-nominated band offers deep meditations on Mexican culture and history through novel interpretations of cumbia, bolero and straight-up rock.
' name was not only chosen for the cultural symbolism — its name ostensibly taken from Pancho Villa's nickname, El Centauro del Norte — it's also a, funk, bolero, cumbias and even some classic Fania salsa. The moment the album begins, its elliptical rhythm crashes, before hitting you in waves, as the first words spoken explain the promise and premise of the album's title: "We are one."
