Neptuna (Mexico)
By Enrique Blanc, Host at Radio al Cubo at Radio Universidad de Guadalajara
At the juncture of Rompan Todo (Break It All), in which rock in Latin America has been reevaluated, and at a crucial moment for women’s empowerment, what’s better than a quartet of women with a lot of personality of their own? Carolina (guitar and vocals), Ana Sofía (bass and vocals), Cyneli (keyboards and vocals) and Nathalia (drums and vocals) produce fresh, direct and psychedelic rock with vocal games coming all the way from Guadalajara, Mexico. So far, they’ve opened a few concerts for Café Tacvba and their undeniable selling point is their debut album, Mar Rojo. They also recently released the single “Ikite Iru,” which you can listen to on Bandcamp.
