Description
The iconic Latin American band Cultura Profetica presents its sixth studio album 'Sobrevolando, an ode to the social, political and cultural awakening. Sobrevolando (flying over), in a symbolic way, is the action that Cultura Profetica has taken to continue forward. What happened in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria, the superfluous state of the musical scene, the heartless direction of international geo-politics and the drastic changes that the band has gone through, are some of the challenges they have transcended.
It has been ten years since Cultura Profetica fans had the joy of buying an album from the group but his fan base has been increasing over the years. The admiration for their music reached the European continent with thousands of expecting fans, craving their honesty and unique sound, skillfully delivered by Willy Rodriguez (voice and bass), Eliut Gonzalez (guitar), Omar Silva (guitar and bass) and Juanqui Sulsona (keyboard).
'Sobrevolando' gathers the experiences lived in the past decade this time accompanied by new drummer Ernesto "Bebo" Rodriguez Dumont, who also serves as producer. The well-known wealth of styles already experienced throughout their discography is transformed into something different. The innovative elements of their compositions and musical arrangements are beyond standard. As if that were not enough, bordering on eccentricity, the album distances itself from digital sound by being completely mixed with analog technology by the multi-Grammy-winning engineer Ben Kane, who also serves as co-producer.
The group presents an album with 15 tracks under their own independent record label La Mafafa Discos, Its was recorded over five years in several studios in San Juan, Puerto Rico with engineers Erron Brown, Julio Gonzalez, Carlos Velazquez and Harold W. Sanders, and was mixed and mastered in Electric Garden.
