about
Lola's Dice's debut album is the result of a process of radical musical transmutation, marked by the phenomenon of massive Venezuelan emigration. Having taken their first steps in the key of Funk-Rock (particularly much more rock than funk), things first took a turn after the leader Javier Bohorquez met Venezuelan producer Alex Figueira (Fumaça Preta, Conjunto Papa Upa, etc) at a show and he handed him a business card. The tropical psychedelic sound Figueira was specialized on spoke immediately to Javier, as it did combine many of the crazy and groovy elements he loved from the most "out there" Funk (a la Funkadelic), with the countless Caribbean rhythms he had been exposed to, having grown up in Venezuela.
After the first EP "Viaje al centro del ritmo", where everything acquired a decisive tropical tone, a further eccentric exploration of the music of their homeland became inevitable. The subsequent single "Cacri 'e Playa / Sr Cartujo" clearly showed where things were moving towards.
The completion of "Pura maldad" exposes the current point of that process with amazing detail. Rhythms that were considered exclusively "traditional" and almost untouchable back home (Tamborera, Gaita) get twisted, stretched and pushed beyond any imaginary limit, while being combined with healthy doses of Disco, Funk, Electro, Techno and their Caribbean counterparts, Merengue, Salsa and Compass. The album is a lysergic trip in a Caribbean coast, and while you see vibrant colors and things move in veery strange ways, the sun never seizes to shine. Despite its profoundly experimental character, the album will prove very useful to anyone needing to get a party started, maintained or fully blown up, depending at what point of the evening it gets played.
