Meridian Brothers - "En el Caribe estoy triste" (Weekly Music Roundup)
Meridian Brothers is a Colombian band that delights in faking out its listeners. There are no brothers, nobody even named Meridian in the band, and their last album, they said, was a collection of covers from a long-lost salsa band. They were in fact new songs by Meridian Brothers. Now they’ve released the first single from their next album, and it looks back to the mid-20th-century Congolese pop style known as soukous. The song is called “En el Caribe estoy triste” – in the Caribbean, I am sad. The Meridian Brothers are playing at BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn! on July 19, but this song, "En el Caribe estoy triste" is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
Here's their 2023 Soundcheck Podcast performance:
