“Niebla”, Ramon Chicharron | Le Devoir

Announced at the beginning of the summer with the release of the melancholic and acoustic cumbia River and Junglea collaboration with composer and ace guitarist Yves Desrosiers, the fourth album by Montrealer with Colombian roots Ramon Chicharron rather stretches out the last rays of the summer sun. The duo comes at the end of the album. However, the eleven songs that precede it are hot as stones, Dancing in your vibrationcollaboration with the Cuban-Canadian duo OKAN, at this Ayer based on a house rhythm to make you dance in the afternoon, passing by this tasty collaboration with MC Waahli (Menealo). Chicharron takes advantage of the flair of its producer, Jean Massicotte, a master in the art of injecting the modernity of electronic sounds into South American music, as he did so well for Mônica Freire; his touch, just like Ramon’s unifying musical vision, eloquently underlines the rhythmic kinship between cumbia and Jamaican reggae, a major influence on the album. In concert on September 20 at the Ministère.
