“art-rock, dub, electronica and Afro Cuban jazz into a dense and worldly mix.”
Jim Farber New York Daily News, New York, NY
“The Battle of Santiago" deliver it all. Ancient knowledge, great dance beats, and musicianship. What a great act!”
Ismael Ahmed, Host of “This Island Earth”, WDET, Detroit, MI
A more timely album title would be hard to find: Battle of Santiago’s third release, La Migra, literally translates to “deportation police,’ certainly a topic of great discussion in North America as of late. Tapping in to the climate wasn’t a purposeful decision – the album title was chosen before the change of administration – but the emotion behind the sentiment is still the same. “We chose this title last year, simply because all of the band members have had to migrate to Toronto for one reason or another. We often have trouble crossing the border because of our diverse heritage, something we expect to be even more difficult in the coming months.”
The Battle of Santiago (BOS) band members are half Canadian, half Cuban, resulting in a unique and formidable sound. Led by Michael Owen (bass and production) the band’s sound never veers far from their distinctive blend of Canadian art rock and afro-Cuban jazz – twisted through a dub lense.
