Afro-Andean Funk Release Sophomore Album, “Flower On Fire”
Afro-Andean Funk has returned with their second album, Flower On Fire, continuing their multi-cultural, genre-bending style that fuses Andean roots music with American funk, rock, and electronica.
The duo of vocalist Araceli Poma and bassist/composer Matt Geraghty explore the topics of social struggle, shamanic rituals, and the healing power of ayahuasca.
“This new music we composed is a blend of modern musical styles with heart-felt deep lyricism, memorable melodies, funky grooves and rich harmonies,” says Geraghty. Poma adds, “The world needs to know about the injustices against our people in Peru and South America that have taken place for years specifically against minority indigenous communities. I will not stay silent about the atrocities against them, and through our song ‘Somos LatinoAmerica’ we wanted to show unity with them in their fight for justice and equality,”
