Corroncho is a Spanish speaking
album recorded by Roxy Music guitarist Phil Manzanera and Colombian
artist/sculptor, Lucho Brieva in London between 2003-2008. The idea came
from a track called 'Complicada' written by Chrissie Hynde whilst
collaborating with her on a Spanish version of that song. The album
proceeded via the track 'Lowrider' to a full blown set of songs about
two corroncho characters (corroncho is the Colombian slightly pejorative
name given by people from the capital, Bogota, to people from the
Carribean Coast, particulary Barranquilla, which is politically
incorrect but humourous!)
The album is a collection of songs
based on two latin males, their trials and tribulations, good and bad
points, loves and hates, political coorectness and incorrectness but
ultimately their good humour , good heart and ability to dance, all
illuminating the many social issues in present day South Americas. The
music is low fI and takes in salsa, Cumbia , Pop, Ballads and Chillout!
There are guest appearances from Robert Wyatt, Paul Thompson, Enrique
Bunbury, Chrissie Hynde, Annie Lennox, Quimi Portet and Gilad Atzmon,
aswell as Aldo Lopez Gavilan, one of Cuba's top pianists.
