| La Suite de Raymundo' is the latest album from Mandrake y los Druidas, Uruguayan experimental power rock band. An immersive -no shortcuts allowed- experience. Following the powerful essence of their previous releases, the band now explores playful and experimental territories with classical reminiscences. Recorded live in the studio with the four members playing together at barely a few steps in between, this record captures the band's energy at top performance. The result is a consolidated, energetic, and powerful LP, which includes a 16'30'' musical suite as the centerpiece that gives name to the album. La Suite de Raymundo is a conceptual work that challenges listeners to travel through the experience and immerse themselves into the essential. Born in Montevideo in 1962, Alberto "Mandrake" Wolf is an iconic composer and fundamental piece of Uruguayan popular music since the early 1980's. After three decades leading his former band Los Terapeutas, in 2017 he shocked the local musical scene with Mandrake y los Druidas, a supergroup formed next to younger musicians with a powerful and high-energy classic rock and roll sound. Their debut album, Mandrake y los Druidas (2017), was pleasantly received by specialized critics and the fans, winning Graffiti Awards for Uruguayan Music in main categories: "Band of the Year", "Album of the Year',' and "Best Rock and Blues Album." In 2020 they released "Sortilegio", their second album, which definitely delved deeper into the band's sound and expanded its spirit. Three years later, they released La Suite de Raymundo, their third and definitive album. |
