A Mestizo Groove Where Africa and South America Collide
Tremor returns with its nomadic spirit, moving against the current and relentlessly exploring diverse soundscapes. With the addition of Alex Musatov on violin and synthetic arrangements, the Argentine band reinvents itself, delivering a fresh new work to revitalize South America's electronic music scene.
Chala & Brasa is the third single from Tremor's new album, Takuy. Driven by a melody supported by a rhythm where African and South American reminiscences intermingle, Legüero drum, cowbells, shakers, the chico drum (candombe) and various other instruments coexist in this borderless beat.
The track, which at first listen might be considered simply a dance track, unfolds along diagonals that lead to unexpected places with the entrance of acoustic slide guitars and Brazilian berimbaus, transforming Chala & Brasa into a true journey.
With Takuy, their new album, Tremor reaffirms its signature sound—one that thrives on fusing supposed opposites. Constantly redefining their vision of mestizaje, they craft a sonic blend of industrial elements, electronica, criolla psychedelia, and deep explorations of Argentine folklore. They are inhabitants of chaos, masters of creating a hybrid sound that defies classification.
