Four Herrings - Cocha Bamban Juna

Review by Abd Alrahman

Cocha Bamban Juna, the latest album by Four Herrings, showcases the band's unique blend of traditional and modern sounds. The album is a celebration of the band's roots, reflecting their love for Peruvian music and culture.

The album's title track, "Cocha Bamban Juna," sets the tone for the entire album with its upbeat tempo and catchy melody. The use of traditional instruments like the charango and quena, along with modern electronic beats, creates a dynamic sound that is both fresh and familiar.

The album's highlights include "Machu Picchu," a tribute to the iconic Incan ruins, and "El Condor Pasa," a classic Peruvian folk song that has been given a modern twist. The band's vocals are particularly impressive, with powerful harmonies that add depth and emotion to the songs.

Cocha Bamban Juna is a must-listen for anyone interested in Peruvian music or world music in general. Four Herrings have created an album that is both innovative and respectful of tradition, making it a true masterpiece.
