Conjunto Tipico Sensacion (Tarapoto Bande) by 337is (three three seven is) published on 2015-04-13T15:03:29Z On a windy, rainy day, the regional fútbol enthusiasts came to San Roque for a tournament. There were speeches, game balls and jerseys awarded, and more motor vehicles in town than I'd ever seen before. This regional band from Tarapoto kept the crowds in high spirits with their propulsive drumming and catchy melodies. During this recording you can hear enthusiasts whistling their approval from the park across the street. You can also hear the local government official trying to work out how to use the PA system with their voice drenched in reverb and the omnipresent Cumbia y Reggaeton blasting underneath it all. The overall effect is like some mad psychedelic sampling and voice modification a la PLATO & the Western Tradition in full improv mode. Genre Field Recording Comment by 337is (three three seven is) @pytchblend: It is in fact a clarinet. The player is just out of the picture blocked by the seated drummer. 2016-10-10T17:50:31Z Comment by pytchblend Is that an actual clarinet? It has a great gritty tone 2016-10-10T13:28:58Z Comment by 337is (three three seven is) @jeremyhegge: Thank you Jeremy. I will have a few more by this band when I get home.
