DANI BANDER 🎻 Tracks on Dani Bander’s new album 'Malacopa’ are like portraits of Mexico City, with each song serving as a different snapshot of Mexican identity. Shot one, “Valiente:” drinking mezcal in Plaza Garibaldi after you are so heartbroken, that the only words to describe your pain are the words of traditional mariachi songs. Shot two, “Los Mariachis:” dancing at La Imperial, where you run into hipsters, anarchists, and the creative underclass who embrace you in solidarity upon meeting you. Shot three, “Malacopa:” wandering through the stifling Mercado La Merced, where people walk on top of you and push you like you don’t exist, as child vendors hack at pieces of mango in their fruit cart from dusk until dawn. Dani’s Mexico seen through the lens of Malacopa is a brilliant, creative epicenter of love, partying, and endless tall tales, while housing the suffering of the unseen, and “Los Condenados.” Instead of succumbing to the clichés of a western tale, Dani instead tells the story of a Mexico unconquered. Produced by AJ Dávila, and featuring collaborations with Brandon Welchez of Crocodiles and Valentina Plasa of Candy, these musical influences help navigate and create a new sound. The album asks you to stop ignoring your political hangover, and to instead, brindar for the fight ahead. ✏️Michelle Threadgould via @remezcla @danibander #mxtbreed #danibander #malacopa #mexico #latinx #mxtmusic #newsound #newmusic #feature #mariachi #blog #featuredartist #postmariachi #escucha #newalbum #allthingsgood #music #trending #cantante #visualarchitects #latino #artofsounds #inspiration #innovation #creative #createyourhype #bestoftheday #upandcoming #visionaries
