Ruido Tovar

Description

Mexican Institute of Sound (MIS) and Meridian Brothers join forces on Ruido Tovar, a
cross-border collaboration that reimagines the tropical traditions linking Mexico and
Colombia. Drawing inspiration from icons like Rigo Tovar and the psychedelic
Mexican cumbia era, the project blends danzón, son, cha-cha-cha, and experimental
electronics into a vibrant new language. MIS’s genre-bending electronic tropicalism
meets Meridian Brothers’ avant-garde eccentricity, resulting in a sound that is both
reverent and playfully distorted. Together, Camilo Lara and Eblis Álvarez pay tribute
to decades of musical exchange while pushing tropical music into unexpected
territory.
