Latin Experimental ensemble created by Efraín Rozas Explores the frontier between social dance and experimentalism, and seeks to erode the divisions between the popular and the avant-garde.Felipe Wurst on guitar, Joel Mateo on timbales, Guillermo Barrón on congas and Dan Martínez on bass. With this project I wish to contribute to developing of the re-contextualization of Latin American music beyond the cliches of the tropical kitsch, through the development of a experimentalism from the global south. To regain tradition as a form of agency, to promote a poly-centric world as opposed to an art world that needs to comply with Western criteria of “World Music”. 

The New Album “Roza Cruz” was named among the best Latin American albums of the decade by Zona Sucia and Estereofonía, best Peruvian album of 2018 by Rock Achorao, Conciertos Perú, El Comercio and one of the best albums in the world in 2018 by Gladys Palmera (Spain) and Zona de Obras (Spain), and KCRW
