Only in Miami can you cross a Colombian florist's son with a Trinidadian mystic MC and the former keyboardist for mad Argentine genius Charly Garcia to come up with something that sounds like Roni Size in Birdland. For the past year, the "digi-organic" hybrid Council of the Sun has been blazing across the local music skyline, teaming up MCs Innervolt and Wavelength with Desybil, the jazztronic quartet of bass player Pedro Marquez, keyboardist/composer/producer Alfi Martins, percussionist Paul Galan, and guitarist/mixmaster Andrei Iglesias.
Grounded by veteran Martins's expertise, the instrumentalists demonstrate that living humans still have a place in an electronica world, lending emotional color and improvisational flights to cool digital beats. Combining computer technology with cosmic theology, Council of the Sun takes listeners both virtual and live on a journey through the circuitry of the soul.
