</i><br>Jose Ángel González, Calle 20 Magazine. Madrid (Spain)<br><br>..........................<span class="" style="display:inline-block"></span>.............<br><br>MIJO DE LA PALMA<br>FT. Mario Schambon <br><br><span style="color:rgb(55,55,55);line-height:24px">Born out of the eclectic musical scene in the western side of Puerto Rico, Mijo de la Palma’s sound is an unfolding of handcrafted jíbaro music and modern acoustic rhythms. The earthy, melancholic and intimate lament of the jíbaro intersects with upbeat and catchy tunes of today’s singer-songwriter and flamenco music resulting in their trademark Fusion Jíbara. Fusión Jíbara is not only a creative blend of poetry and musical textures that redefines the sounds of contemporary Puerto Rican music, it also provides the new generations with music intimately linked to a strong Puerto Rican identity in times of severe political turmoil in the island.</span></div>
