Gachupin is the new band of former (Cordero/Bee and Flower) bandmates Lynn Wright (...And The Wiremen) and Jon Petrow (The Cloud Room), bassist Tony Maimone (Jon Langford), (Pere Ubu, Book of Knots) and drummer Chris Michael (Coba, Folklore Urbano). Started as a studio side project to explore the Latin and African elements of Cordero's more rhythmic tunes, the band now includes Brian Dewan (Raymond Scott Orchestrette, Flaming Fire) on keyboards, Miguel Gandelman on Alto Sax, Scott Harrell (Folklore Urbano) on Trumpet, John Martin on Baritone Sax, Sam Sadigursky on Tenor, Paul Watson (Sparklehorse, Them Against Them) on Cornet, percussionist Sergio Borrero and future Colombian percussion legend El Yoky on Alegre. Blending African guitar stylings with Brazilian and Afro-Colombian rhythms, they draw on electric funk era Miles Davis and the more groove-oriented elements of the post-everything music world to create an instrumental hybrid that is danceable but still an interesting listen for the lead-footed, cross-armed brothers and sisters among us.
