Tipa Tipo – "Poco Tiempo" (Weekly Music Roundup)
The band called Tipa Tipo comes from Brooklyn via Peru. The trio plays an unlikely, but likeable, mix of tropical Latin funk, cumbia, disco, and yacht rock. With their synthesizers, guitar, and tight vocal harmonies, they offer a kind of retro 70s sound, but with a modern, feminist sensibility and lyrics sung mostly in Spanish. Tipa Tipo's latest single, called “Poco Tiempo,” “a little time”, from their latest record, Cintas, is just out and that song is part of our Weekly Music Roundup.
