PISTOLERA TAKES AIM AT YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS AND YOUR FEET WITH NEW ALBUM
BROOKLYN, NY...Critically-acclaimed Latin folk-alternative group, Pistolera, continues its mission to expand the limits of Latin music with the follow-up to their buzzworthy 2006 debut Siempre Hay Salida. The new album, En Este Camino, which was released on August 5, 2008, reunites the band with Grammy Award-winning producer Charlie Dos Santos. The result is a sonic merging of soul-stirring traditional Mexican rhythms laced with social commentary via lyrics from accomplished singer/songwriter Sandra Lilia Velasquez. En Este Camino has much range. The play list zigzags the listener through an uplifting blend of dance-inducing sounds that can be heard at any backyard "carne asada" mixed with political themes. It is music for your feet and your mind. Topics include the plight of the immigrant ("Extranjero"), tongue-in-cheek observations about a racially-biased American power structure ("Policia" and "Piloto") and an appreciation for wisdom that comes from maturity ("Nuevos Ojos," "Un Momento" and "Vieja"). All in all, En Este Camino is as much a celebration of "cultura" as it is thought-provoking owing to the music's unique ability to frame political views without overshadowing the upbeat fiesta attitude of the band.
