Parranda La Cruz

In the turbulent and often dark seas of galloping globalization, there is also life, freedom and miraculous unions… In the melting pot of international folklore conceived by artists with deep roots and peaks open to all winds, there is Parranda La Cruz. Between the Atlantic and Indian oceans, the quartet has produced a scorching, cathartic, jubilant debut album… essential!

After the highly acclaimed “Aguacero” EP, Parranda La Cruz remains firmly connected to the very essence of its hybrid music and the cultures that underpin it. Between the Caribbean coast of Venezuela and La Réunion, at the heart of the trance, we find the strong yet sensitive identities of four singers and percussionists in total symbiosis. Together, they create a whirlwind that blends the ancient and the modern, the everyday and the exceptional, the natural and the spiritual, the body and the heart… Most of the new songs are composed by this wild and gentle outfit, which manages to combine the energies of traditional repertoires with a contemporary approach.
