Soma Mestizo:
It''s a stimulation of both the intellectual side of us and the side that really wants to dance.
The professor got her groove on…yes Martha you can care about the environment; want to smack the sh-t out of war mongers; work to put an end to all the bad –isms and all the while shake your cute white, black, brown, yellow, red, indescribable, indefinable ass. How? Well sit down Martha we gotta a story to tell: Soma Mestizo is 21st century music made by elements seen, felt and heard from all centuries proceeding.
So Soma “found the line between technology and organic and then dances across it.” At least that is how Scott Mervis of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette explained it.
Merging passion with intellect, dub earth beats with simulated earthly/unearthly sounds. Soma Mestizo brings an artistic precision to the medium of music. The poetry and prose of the lyrics melds with the sensual guitar, percussion and bass team up mimicking pulsating blood and of the unseen but felt soul. Lead singer and co-founder Christiane D. says: “Making music is akin to painting on a large canvas. Usually one paints alone, quite a solitary event. But with music, everyone is adding their own texture and color to create the piece.”
The art metaphor is apt, as music critic Kenneth Mowery states; “Although "artist" is the title given to virtually every recording musician these days, the case could be made that precious little of the music recorded today is actually art. However the work of Soma Mestizo ranges into that lofty realm.”
Soma Mestizo means "a body of mixtures" and the name, in the case of Soma Mestizo, is the thing: Indigenous meets technology, sex meets holiness, love meets truth. Newest member Beau De Monte says; “Soma is a very inspiring entity. It is something you experience and walk away impressed in some way.” Christiane D. explains, the process is as complex as the arrangements and as organic as the experience: “Any song, sound, chord, idea needs to have been through the blender of the myriad-flipped-oblique-spinning-twisted-backwards turned inside out revolution.”
What they’re saying about Soma:
Christiane D''s lyrics tell unconventional stories in traditionally prose or poetic ways more extreme than the folk ballads of Johnny Cash or Bob Dylan. Justin Hopper, City Paper
Very dark, danceable beats, which made the audience anxious, as if they were surrounded by poisonous rattle snakes. Jenny Yuen – NXNE
“Soma Mestizo weaves enduring magic from an unlikely combination…their cauldron simmers with trance inducing rhythms and erotic, stretched out arrangements.” The Houston Voice
Soma Mestizo: the deep, dark, sexy global genre busting, booty-shaking, head-filling magic music. As experienced on the following releases: Life of a Toy, Interim I, Peepshow, Silversun-ep, NO War, Interim II, and Nasty Boy, Telomere. written by Tereneh Mosley
