Meridian Brothers (2023x62)

: 07, 2023

You gotta love a band that names itself after siblings that don't exist, and under a name that doesn't match anyone in the band. At least I do. I've been a fan of the edgy sonic traditions of the Meridian Brothers for a while now, and jumped at the chance to bring the duo's space age cumbia direct from Bogotá, Colombia to the Tiny Desk. And band leader Eblis Alvarez did not disappoint.
