Featured in El Marchante’s Experimental Sounds of Latin America. “The Triumph of Nicaragua is expressed in the explosion of joy and energy which dances through the music being created there today. As Nicaragua reconstructs, it creates a new society and a new culture, discovering its future in the pride of its past. This first album of music from the new Nicaragua available in the U.S. introduces the ten musicians who form Grupo Mancotal, which was formed by Luis Enríque Mejía Godoy in the Ministry of Culture. They use their rich and varied musical backgrounds to mesh traditional and popular, jazz and classical to create new music, to express the revolutionary spirit.”
