ControlMachete - UnoDosBandera

Review by Sarju Mistry

ControlMachete's album UnoDosBandera is a must-listen for fans of Latin American hip-hop. The Mexican group's third studio album, released in 1999, showcases their unique blend of rap, rock, and traditional Mexican music.

The album opens with the energetic "Si Señor," which features a catchy chorus and a driving beat that sets the tone for the rest of the record. Other standout tracks include "Andamos Armados," a politically charged song about police brutality, and "El Son Divo," which incorporates elements of the traditional Mexican music style known as son.

ControlMachete's lyrics are sharp and socially conscious, addressing issues such as poverty, corruption, and the struggles of everyday life. The group's use of Spanish and Spanglish adds to the authenticity of their message and makes their music accessible to a wide audience.
