Rapa Nui for PA

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Hi, this is César Inca.

RAPA NUI is a Peruvian avant-rock project very much akin to the standard of psychedelic progressive experimentation. It comprises a member of CHOLO VISCERAL (already in PA) and another of MERCÌ BABOON. Of all their material posted in their bancamp page, two items have received their physical editions as CDs: "Lucha Troglodita" and "Rigel Kentaur". The former has been published by a foreign label.

Here are their recordings posted in Bandcamp so far.-
Lucha Trogoldita: http://rapanuiperu.bandcamp.com/album/lucha-troglodita 
Rigel Kentaur: http://rapanuiperu.bandcamp.com/album/rigel-kentaur 
Frida: http://rapanuiperu.bandcamp.com/album/frida 
Punani: http://rapanuiperu.bandcamp.com/album/punani-en-vivo

Soon to be released  --  Desde Lo Profundo Hasta Lo Más Denso: http://rapanuiperu.bandcamp.com/album/desde-lo-profundo-hasta-lo-m-s-denso 

As you can see, this is sheer psychedelic avant-rock with hints at kraut, free-jazz, the acid aspects of old-school space-rock and, in the case of Rigel Kentaur, some flirtations with post-rock as well.

	I listened to this last night, plus given their new release a shot this afternoon, and I think avant sounds like the appropriate place for these guys. The new stuff seems to be more of a droning avantguarde approach, whereas an album like Rigel Kentaur sounds more in line with what PA is about. I'll leave it entirely up to the ZART boys to decide though
