He is the patron saint of the 4:00 AM taxi ride home. He is the sound of a beer bottle rolling on the floor of an empty apartment. He is, without a doubt, the most honest voice Mexico produced in that decade. Because music has become too clean
If you are tired of perfect singers singing perfect songs about perfect love, do yourself a favor. Pour a cheap drink, turn down the lights, and let Armando Palomas ruin you for any other artist. He cares if you feel true
Here is a journey through the first foundational decade of one of Mexico’s most underrated masters. The late 90s were a strange time for rock en español. Grunge was dying, pop was rising, but in the underground, Palomas was sharpening his blade. His earliest albums in this collection (presumably Mente, Alma y Vientre or similar early works) are stark.
Do not put this on shuffle. These albums are meant to be consumed in order. They tell the story of a decade of struggle. Listen to Album 1 (1997) and then skip to Album 11 (2006). You will hear two different men. The first wants to die; the second has learned to live with the scars.
