Los Piraņas - Una Oportunidad Mas De Triunfar En La Vida

Stilistisch borduurt het trio verder op de al ingeslagen weg - een mix van Latijns-Amerikaanse ritmes als cumbia, champeta, tropicalia en salsa met invloeden uit psychrock, minimalistische dub en experimentele jazz - maar deze keer ligt de nadruk in de studio op live-improvisatie, waarbij de opnamesessie vaak lange jamsessies werden.
Pedro Ojeda: "With this album, we went to the studio in the morning every day for a week. Each of us would bring one or two ideas and we would start jamming, experimenting with those ideas. By lunchtime, we had one or two pieces based on those ideas and then, after lunch, we would record them. By the end of the week, we had the eight tracks that are on the record.".
De sound en vibe van Una Oportunidad Mas De Triunfar En La Vida - zonder overdubs of andere studiotrucks - benadert dan ook sterk die van een liveoptreden van Los Piraņas.
Eblis Alvarez: "All the loops are synchronised, and we try to fit over them. That was the challenge of this record.". Pedro Ojeda vult aan: "Also, we were not recording to a click track, the loops were always moving because the tempo was always moving depending on the spirit of the moment. We had to make it groove, to make the loops groove with the band."
Toch zal dit niet ieders kopje thee zijn, dat beseft ook Mario Galeano: "To the people who are into the traditional way of listening to tropical sounds, to salsa, to cumbia, this is super alien. Then for the people who are into rock, they hear these Latin sounds we play and it's alien to them too!". Eblis Alvarez vat het echter mooi samen: "I think the times are changing. Latin music is evolving. It's going towards noise and electronics. The Latin community is growing, the generations have changed!"
