Description
Miel Venenosa is a bilingual folk-rock album (English & Spanish) in which American and Latin American language and tradition meld with catchy melodies and inventive chords to enhance appreciation for diversity in an increasingly multi-cultural world.
Notes
Elena & Los Fulanos is a bilingual folk rock band based in Washington, DC. Since 2011, they have been creating music ranging from twangy, heartbreak-themed folk Americana, to soothing, introspective, violin-infused Latin rock. Influenced by front-woman Elena Lacayo’s experience growing up in two cultures, Elena & Los Fulanos creates a world where language and tradition meld with catchy melodies and inventive chords to enhance appreciation for diversity in an increasingly multi-cultural world.
Miel Venenosa (or “Poisonous Honey”) is a full-length, 13-track English and Spanish album with styles and themes that highlight the bilingual and bicultural identity of the band. “Carolina,” a song about wanting to escape to the American South, borrows elements from American folk and country music, while “Amor Migrante,” a migrant mother’s love song to the son she left behind, uses Latin guitars to transport the listener to her Central American home country.
“We want our music to explore and engage with the sometimes beautiful and sometimes messy meeting and mashup of cultures that is happening in our communities, in our families, and within ourselves” said Lacayo, who grew up between the United States and Nicaragua and identifies as both Nicaraguan and American. “Although this album is about finding my own cultural identity, it’s also about the universal desire to overcome personal isolation and find peace with conflicting elements of ourselves.”
