Tumba Swing
Bucles De Arrabal
He is a musician, cartoonist and tattoo artist (with a worrying addiction to black color). First of all, he is an excellent storyteller. Don Rogelio J, whom we are used to seeing at the head of the trash 'n' roll trio Aullido Atmico, returns to the arena in his most wild and lonely version, the one-man band Tumba Swing. It returns with a new musical concept and a renewed repertoire of nocturnal stories in which always looms its peculiar alloy of surrealism and black humor. The addition of more instruments - wind piano, harmonica, mouth harp, theremin, stylophone, percussions with garbage cans, etc. - as well as greater attention to production, translated into a multiplication of sound textures. In the compositional aspect, we are also faced with a more minimalist work, which abounds in the concept of existential loop by locating the repetitions and loops in the nucleus of each cut.
