Tropical Electronica 'DreamBow' by Balún




Soundcheck show

Summary: <p>Brooklyn-based via San Juan band Balún came from DIY electrified bedroom pop that embraced punk on the island of Puerto Rico. Now, with an even wider range of influences, (please see their ethnomusicological, technological, punk, hardcore, and New York Philharmonic credentials) their "dreambow" tropical electronica harnesses Caribbean rhythms, grime/jungle/IDM, Puerto Rican folk music, shoegaze and is a playfully-informed take on global pop music. Balún joins us in the studio to play music from their brand-new record, <em>Prisma Tropical</em>.</p> <p>Watch the full session here:</p> <p> </p> <p>Watch the individual songs below:</p> <p> </p> <p> </p>
