A promised land of hypnotic cumbia rhythms, | | subtle digital warbling, accordion textures, voodoo vapours and | | woodblock charm awaits the off piste explorer willing to step through | | the arch and Visit Malphino, the debut album from this London based | | collective of musicians and visual artists. | | | | The joyous, often frenetic, style of cumbia that Malphino have landed | | on, tips its hat to the various denominations of modern cumbia | | movements worldwide yet carves its own unique, transcendental spin on | | the genre. | | | | Reinterpreting the traditional Colombian banda, playing organ, | | accordion and tuba, their sound integrates an array of percussion and | | rhythms from either side of the Pacific ocean with a strong emphasis | | on East-Asian folkloric traditions alongside the distinctive origins | | of Brazilian forro, 1930's Cuban rumba, Peruvian chicha and cumbia in | | a myriad of styles. | | | | This heady mix of volcanic sounds is given extra potency by a fluid | | use of electronic sequencing, with reverb and echo effects laced into | | the melodic lines and vocals to recreate the dreamlike rapture of | | their magical island. | | | | *** | | | | The collective took roots back in 2010, when a trio of friends began | | promoting Latin-oriented nights in Hackney, London. Yu Sato DJ'ed | | from his obscure vinyl collection whilst Alex Barrow (accordion) and | | David Aird (tuba) would interpret a live mixture of Latin songs and | | Italian film soundtracks by Morricone, Piccioni and Nino Rota. As the | | event gained momentum, a small community of musicians dropped in and | | out to lend their own south-American styles and eventually a cumbia | | band of 6 to 8 musicians took form. | | | | The name the band decided on originated in the portmanteau of the | | original members' respective nationalities: Mal (since David was half | | Malay) and Phino (since Alex was half Filipino). It was this that | | triggered the initial concept of an abstract symbol of inspiration. | | To their new band Malphino sounded like an otherworldly place or | | country. The more they spent time together, the more they embellished | | this idea and gradually a fantastical island began to take shape in | | their collective imaginations. | | | | By 2012 Antonin Voyant (percussion) and Graham Mushnik (organ) of | | Catapulte Records had joined the adventure, and recorded Malphino's | | first EP, "El Lava de Gabacho", live in their East-London basement. | | This was followed by the release of "Lalango" - named after the | | island's highest mountain - on NYCT in 2015. | | | | Their debut album "Visit Malphino" builds on these initial records | | and dives deep into the island's mythology. It's a 17-track epic that | | provides the soundboard to years of imaginative cultivation. With | | clues in the titles, each track represents a different element to the | | island. It embodies the growth of the Malphino concept from an | | abstract idea within the minds of a few friends to a more complex | | fantasy at the centre of a small community of musicians and artists. | | | | | | YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO BUY THIS SHIT IF YOU LIKE IT RIGHT?! | | | | shout outs to the realest in the game: | | FTD - NOiR - GCP - SO - C4 - CR - m00f - hbZ - FrB | | | | . . | | |\/\/| | | |____| | |------------------------------=---=-======-=---=-------------------------| |===/\===============================SOUNDz==========================/\===| '--/__\--------------------------=-2013-2018-=----------------------/__\--'
