Salsa Bestial is the international presentation of Puerto Rico’s Orquesta el Macabeo. Formed in 2008, the veteran backgrounds in punk, rock, hardcore, ska and reggae of its 12 members have joined in a celebration and irresistible new take on salsa gorda or heavy salsa. Those varied influences have allowed them to reach not only the traditional salsa audience but also a wider public interested in a more diverse style within a genre which can at times seem reluctant to try new formulas. For the last four years the orquesta has played all over Puerto Rico, and their thrilling shows and honest and straightforward approach to their sound and lyrics have gathered support across all kinds of audiences. Vampisoul is very proud to release this collection of tracks from their two self-released albums (Salsa macabra and El entierro) plus a new, exclusive recording.
