Description: The forthcoming debut EP from El Imperio.

La Copa Rota

  Remember when each time you went to the club a new record
  would grab you with its complexity and beauty? When the
  harmonies and polyrhythms were so deep that one was
  powerless against the music’s demand to move, to dance?
  Well, neither do we.
  Melaza is a group of musicians who can’t seem to let go
 of the challenge that Mongo and Barretto and Hector stamped
  onto wax, taunting us to reach the majesty of their swing,
  the power and effortlessness of their music. So Melaza
 slugs  it out, fighting our current cultural amnesia at 4am at
  Umbrella’s in the BX or Quincaneras in the Heights,
  refining our craft, trying to balance these ghosts on our
  shoulders.
  Towards the end of last winter the fourteen of us got
  together, cramming into a studio in south Williamsburg to
  lay these tracks down live to tape. And if the joy in
  creating this music seeps out your speakers, then we've
 done our job.

We are The Empire.

Brothers and compatriots, the members of El Imperio banded together following two years of performing together with the smash hit Tony Award-winning show Fela!, about the life and times of African music icon and activist Fela Kuti. Bringing a mix of styles from Afrobeat to Bachata, from Soul to Salsa, the band has created an intoxicating style all their own.
