Electronic, Afro-Peruvian crew Novalima has just released their third album Coba Coba on Cumbancha records. Their soulful blend of African roots music from Peru's coastal regions and global beats follow closely a worldwide fascination in urban youth culture to meld the ancestral and folkloric with the mechanization of the 21st century. Still, there's nothing hackneyed about Novalima. The band provides a fresh perspective, presented with an authentic sonic accent. My review of their album is now up on El Nuevo Herald's site.
