La Mecánica Popular was created in one of those uniquely New York convergences, a same time, same place meeting of musicians from Perú, The Bronx, Venezuela and Colombia. Created and led by band leader Efrain Rozas, the ensemble has a unique forward driven sound, yet steeped in the roots of 1970’s-era Salsa Dura, and influenced by the psychedelic experimental sounds of Peru’s musical history. They are on the cusp of the new wave of Tropical Music, using modern gadgets to effect vocals in real-time and losing the horn section in favor of textured synths and processed Pervuian-style guitar licks. Ultimately, their sound and live performances are held together with the quintessentially classic bongo-conga-timbal ensemble. They’ve released three records on the Brooklyn-based independent record label Names You Can Trust, including their debut full-length album. Their recordings have received play and praise from notable tastemakers such as Giles Peterson and respected outlets like WNYC Soundcheck, NPR Alt.Latino, Té Para Tres, CNN & BBC. Their ever shifting and experimenting live show has been making waves in the New York City area for the last few years, playing accomplished outlets like the Brooklyn Museum and Central Park Summerstage, where they opened up for the legendary Roberto Roena as part of the Fania 50th Anniversary Celebration.
