The essence of Costa Rica's contemporary music is destilled to perfection by Malpaís. Poetic lyrics, refined jazz arrangements, ethnic inflections and the gathering of reknowned musicians is key to the most successful recording band in Costa Rica today.
Bio / Background
Malpaís is one of the most successful efforts by a Costa Rican group to fuse traditional and popular music, and to enrich this fusion with elements of Jazz and Rock. This doesn’t happen over night: it comes from a slow process, a reclaiming of roots distilled in the province of Guanacaste, on the border with Nicaragua – “Más al Norte del Recuerdo” (“North of Memory”) – but without rejecting the urban cosmovision and transformations experienced by the Latin American song over the past three decades.
Their debut album, “Uno”, earned a Gold Record for its sales in Costa Rica alone, an astonishing accomplishment for any non-commercial band in Central America; and the attendance of audiences of all ages to Malpaís' concerts keeps growing and growing.
Uno is made up of 11 songs that have managed to tap into the audience's sensibility and to establish a very emotional relationship with them.
