Keko Yoma is an intense party. A spiritual arenga connects to your most primitive feelings.
The live show is an internal trance healing therapy provoked by the deranged musical loops of their songs. It
offers messages that can be eye opener to a more critical point of view -but not negative- about the society.
They enchant the audience with their charisma, sense
of humor and the theatricallity of the show. They end up
captivating the people when you see the whole venue
integrated in a party in which everyone, without discrimination, is invited.
Keko Yomas sound is global and very hard to put in
simple words. Their songs are festive, provocative, psychedelic, tribal, conscious and are interpreted by a classic rock quartet with percussions, keyboards, brass,
didgeridoo, trompes, Colombian bagpipes, trutuca, Tarka, pifilka, synthesizers, electronic effects and the publics energy, among others. It is a live experience which
should be appreciated as such.

Propaganda
Again, it is important to talk about Renato Pizarros guitar work. In Propaganda and
Querer, he brings discret resonances that nourish the nuances. Additionally, songs like
Pill a pap and Calor are very interesting because are minimalists in meaning but
are also focused in developing into a circular (punk) rock that flirts with the pshychedelia
by repetitive means, although in bouncy key. Towards the end, -as previous albums- there
is room for a slower song, where Fernando Reyes phrasing gives voice to the remarkably melodic ability of the band in the song La guitarra, a unique waltz with appearing
chinese flutes.
Is very pleasant to know that Propaganda is more mature in content. From humoristic
moments found in El ms wen de los caminos (2008) and Bienvenidos al Sur (2010),
that threw overboard some interesting explorations, to this day, we found more content in
the lyrics, better focus in the criticism, and a better -at times- treatment of the good vibe
pachanga. You cant talk about Keko Yoma and not talk about pachanga.
Congratulations. Keko Yoma is starting to accomplish greater balance and a significant weight according to a handful
of more restrained, thoughtful and mature songs, without
giving up the festive purpose. It is quite the opposite. Today,
not one song unfolds tacky or cheap humor. This means a
more potent and coherent message entrenched in rhythms
that are always first focused on the body.
