Juamba d'Estroso has got the "blues" voice - you know that deep low cracked baritone-type of voices. So I would rather expext him playing something in the vein of Madrugada or lesser-known chicagoans The Great Crusades. But what he plays in fact is the 'genre-fluid' underground music rooted in chamber pop and garage rock.
Listening to his most recent album I wonder if he's aware of French guitar-driven experimentalists Experience because the tracks like "Normalizando La Honestidad" showcase the same approach Michel Cloup and his peers often use, mixing the dense guitar sound with shamanic drums and spoken-word-switched-to-shrieking vocals.
Moreover, I'd like to trace some links to Railroad Jerk, underestimated New York-based indie pub rockers who were one of the Matador Records's first signees.
The sound is dense and definitely not cheap (what you might expect from a low profile band), the mood is rather neurotic. Juamba's voice takes on operatic tones when needed. “No Me Quiero Morir” goes strictly to the list of the year's best, and so does the album as a whole.
