In "Lacandona", Lucas Tripaldi leads us into the sound space of the Mesoamerican rainforest with a series of retro-futuristic atmospheres worthy of a Sci-fi story.
While listening to it, we can imagine the following mythical scenario: a stepped pyramid that begins to illuminate with the restless light of the fire in the thickness of the night
The album is certainly a tribute to the nocturnal jungle, the ceremonial center of an ancient sacred rite, but its sounds follows from the sunset, when the power of the sun begins to fade.
Since then those hypnotic sequences call the divinities of the night to celebrate a ritual feast. From that mythical pyramid the ancestral inhabitants of the jungle could descend in groups choreographing a dance and imitating the sounds of the birds and insects that roam through the entire album. And when total darkness invades the cenote, almost the procession of men and women carrying the offerings to the beat of the percussion can be observed.
And when total darkness invades the cenote, The album ends with "Lacandona II", a continuation of the first track, where the electronics are transformed. In those ancient ceremonies lies the origin of our current raves and the composer lets converge together one and the other time in this last track. There in the middle of the humid night of the jungle, the excited bodies dance next to the nocturnal creatures emerged from the depths of the cenote, and in a state of mystical ecstasy the erotic union of human beings and gods takes place.
