Episode 3: ROBOT, TEACH US TO GROOVE - with Efraín Rozas [replay]

Sound Propositions

We have a new bonus episode coming up later this month, but until then check out some past episodes you may have missed.

ROBOT, TEACH US TO GROOVE was first published in March 2019. This episode features Efraín Rozas, Peruvian-born, Brooklyn-based performer/composer and robotics/software developer interested in new paradigms of cognitive technologies and mythologies. He leads the psychedelic salsa group La Mecánica Popular, fusing groove-based Latin music with electronic and experimental explorations. Rozas' Myth and Prosthesis series utilizes software programming and robotics to produce sound installations and music, deploying Latin American influences and modern technology to uproot Western concepts and mind/body duality.

We discuss all these projects and more, including the role of NYC in the history of Salsa, and the future of electronic Latinx music to come.

Sound Propositions the podcast has the same mission statement as the written Sound Propositions features: to share in depth discussions with artists whose work we love, to delve into the details of their creative practice.
