Think of Quique Escamilla as a contemporary voice and exponent of the historic Latin American ?Nueva Cancion? movement, which reached its highest peak of popularity during the 70s and 80s, and which was very influential in the development of many artists. To have a better idea of the kind of music that Quique Escamilla creates, put together a mix of folk, pop, rock, ska, reggae, rap, alternative and traditional music from his native Mexico plus strong lyrics, protest songs (canci?n comprometida) charged with poetry and a social message. All that makes up for a conscious, fresh and lively sound, delivered with great arrangements and musicianship. Quique Escamilla is in very good company on this recording, and that contributes enormously to the band?s hip and infectious sound, which really conveys the author?s ideas in a terrific way.
