Zemog August 1, 2009

Zemog El Gallo Bueno plays 21st Century Latin music, reflecting all of the contradictions and cultural tensions of what it means to be Latin in America in 2008. Bandleader Abraham Gomez-Delgado, of Peruvian descent, left his native Puerto Rico as a child and relocated to the US. As a result, Zemog's music incorporates everything from bomba and plena to Sun Ra and Van Halen in an uncategorizable, unique sound.
