Meridian Brothers - "En el Caribe estoy triste" (Weekly Music Roundup)

Gig Alerts | May 10, 2024

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-20^th-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.
