We weren’t familiar with Spanish experimental power duo Rosin de Palo up until recently but they captured our interest instantly with their wild and exhilarating compositions flirting with various genres like funk, jazz, hard rock, dub, pop and electronica. Classically trained, Samuel Azorín and Mario Vidal, who make up the outfit, released their debut record, Lo que dura un recreo, earlier this year. A sonic experimentation at its finest, the album left us eager to see them live and needless to say that when that happened yesterday in Porto we were not disappointed. An adventurous duo at full tilt, Rosin de Palo’s show was thrilling and ridiculously fun, displaying their incredible talent, expansive vision and visceral energy. For a taster of the ride they offer, listen to a couple of tracks from Lo que dura un recreo, ‘TXÁ TXÁ UNBE UMDÓ’ and ‘Aquí est​á​n tus Satoshis’.

Lo que dura un recreo is out now through Lago/Cráter
