Limboos, The
Baia 180 gr Vinyl LP
LP (penniman)
Is good music good for anything? Well, you are supposed to connect to it. Make you dance. Feel happy, sad, fearless, in love, jealous and righteous and so much more. And hit you like five coffees in the morning and a few shots of cognac at night. The Limboos just perfected the recipe on their new album, Baia (Penniman Records, 2019).
The Limboos do what they wanna do. They know what they like and they know what you like even though that might be two different things. They work in their own rhythm andit’s proven you can move to that rhythm. Everybody lost a few bucks at the end of the night but nobody cares. Everybody woke up a little tired and achy and didn’t fell like going to work. But they did and did it even harder the next three times that week. Lucky you caught them on a Monday night.
With Baia, their third album in five years, The Limboos will transport you, without asking, to a sweet and viscous spiritual ceremony that crosses paths between Chicago from Santiago de Cuba. This new one again produced by Mike Mariconda and with 100% of their own songs you get 11 new lessons in class and sweaty elegance. Check the single “Where Did She Go?” and see. You’ll just dance and maybe fall down from exhaustion and make you do things you swore you would never do. Ignoring this rotten postmodern world, they don’t try to transport you to when the times were better. They are just making better times- show by show, record by record.
So you got lucky and found something you can listen to in the car, the bar, the barn, at work and even on public transport. But if you choose the last one beware for pickpockets, it’s worth more than the cash you are carrying.

¿Para qué sirve la buena música? Nos da de lo bueno, lo mejor: calidez, ritmo, compañía y sobre todo, nos despierta buenos apetitos. Generosos hasta el extremo, todo eso y mucho más nos regalan The Limboos en Baía, su nuevo disco (Penniman Records, 2019).
Ante una novedad así, seamos serios y rindámonos a la evidencia: The Limboos hacen lo que les da la gana. Viven en una liga propia, donde observan, de lejos, los días en que era necesario clasificarlos y se les catalogaba simplemente de “retro” o “vintage”.
Con Baía, su tercer álbum en cinco años, The Limboos agitan los ingredientes de su sonido, borrando fronteras estilísticas en una búsqueda que los lleva mucho más allá de la senda que separa Chicago de Santiago de Cuba.
En su nuevo trabajo —producido por Mike Mariconda y con un 100% de canciones propias— nos dan una nueva lección de clase, de sudorosa elegancia —escucha su single Where Did She Go? y verás— donde consiguen que bailemos y caigamos, extenuados, en sus hipnóticas redes. Por el camino, nos enseñan que dentro de este podrido mundo posmoderno, existe otro, un territorio limbootico en el que habitan los que guardan los secretos de la buena música y donde todo es real, caliente y excitante.
Hoy es tu día de suerte: puedes escuchar Baía, lo nuevo de The Limboos, cada día en tu casa, en tu trabajo, en tu coche, en tus fiestas. Y quizás un día tocan no tan lejos de donde vives. Si eso ocurre, déjalo todo y corre a verlos. Entonces comprobarás cómo el vudú limbootico se apoderará —para siempre— de ti.
