Raúl Monsalve y los Forajidos find common threads between funk, Afrobeat and traditional Afro-Venezuelan music on “Bocón”. Lauded Family Atlantica frontwoman, Luzmira Zerpa, guests on lead vocals, transforming a traditional song from the coastal region of Barlovento, decrying liars, big mouths, or “bocones” into a denouncement of today’s national and world leaders who display a dangerously loose grip on reality, “Bocón” makes it clear there’s no hiding from either the truth, or los Forajidos. As they hammer the ground with bamboo tubes, layering the horns and low-end synth bass with the powerful polyrhythmic quitiplás percussion native to Venezuela.
