Los Macuanos ‘El Origen’ Review

February 8, 2014 by Cal Koat

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2xJTppAdqA There is no stealth in music except for maybe Christian Rock, which is religious music dressed up as secular music. That perceived attempt at deception is why the genre is lost on me.  Music innately reflects all the inspirations and situations that create it. With the release of El Origen by Los Macuanos, affectionately known as … [Read more...] about Los Macuanos ‘El Origen’ Review
