Editorial Reviews
Miami New Times, by John Floyd
"The rock I've heard in most Latin rock seems to be derived from such pathetic sources as Journey, Foreigner, Styx, and Loverboy -- slick, glossy stuff that reeks of formula whether the vocals are in English or Spanish. Not so with Arranca, a Cuban-American rock en espanol trio from Cincinnati whose debut album "Exile on Pain Street" (Exilio Doloroso) screams and wails like the Rolling Stones album from which it scavenges its name. Led by one-time Miamian Victor Garcia-Rivera, Arranca mixes the confrontational assault of three chord punk with daring rewrites of Latino classics such as "Oye el Cha Cha," a Forties hit first recorded by Cuba's Trio Matamoros."
Product Description
"Arranca is a punk-rock Cuban-American band which has taken Marti's belief that "Poetry is suffering," and poured their pain out in their first release Exile on Pain Street (Exilio Doloroso). Their album has already been banned in Cuba and heavily criticized in Miami. Their 10th track: Rational Anthem (Himno Racional) is an all out assault on Cuban sacred cows. It's a powerful song of protest which has been adapted from the Cuban national anthem. It is the equivalent of turning a flag upside down: a symbol of distress and national disaster. Exhorting Cuban youth in the island to "renounce the dictatorship, the hardships and the restrictions on liberty which they currently suffer." -John Suarez, Yara!
