Balún |
"Años Atrás" |
Prisma Tropical |
Balún are a Brooklyn band originally from Puerto Rico, and this is a good opportunity to mention that it's still hard to be an electro-latin indie band in Puerto Rico because they're still trying to fix the electrical grid after it was smashed by Hurricane Maria, and they're still trying to fix the weird half-rights status of Puerto Rico as a non-state part of the United States, and although it's appalling that you still have to remind some people that Puerto Rico is part of the United States, on the other hand it shouldn't actually matter. Electricity is a feature of human civilization, not a delicate local tradition to be guarded and apportioned with deliberation and parsimony. |
