Biografie von Eslabon Armado
California-based trio Eslabon Armado's name translates as "linked chain." Illustrated by their interlocking three-part vocal harmonies, woven acoustic guitars, and basses, the group's music re-frames the Regional Mexican music of ranchera with the language of "sierreña music," the "music of the mountain ranges." While the rhythms and melodies are similar to those found in norteño, the (mostly) guitars-and-vocals-only approach creates a similar feeling to that of campfire music played by wandering campesino minstrels.
