PACO MENDOZA’s instrumental focus lies on his acoustic guitar, however he is just as comfortable rocking mics with his partner pon decks DJ VADIM, who has produced most of the tracks on his debut album CONSCIENTE Y POSITIVO. This LP is a musical soundtrack, a clash of the old world versus the new. It combines Latin, Hip-Hop, Reggae and Electronic influences – a revolutionary urge for love and social consciousness, spiced with daily topics and fiesta. On the musical level the Spanish guitar battles the Mini Moog creating “boom bap beats” which Paco rides almost royally. Hence, the record is a connection of several styles but in a minimal vadimesque way. The album is opened by the title CUMBIAME RMX feat. the colombian singer MIL SANTOS. A Cumbia-Electronica spiced with Atari-samples from Cologne- producer TIL SCHNEIDER. Followed by the call for more good music in the radio EN LA RADIO: a positive ride on a Dancehall-beat. In addition the track REVOLUCIONARIO is a cry for a better world, whereas the Cumbia FOSFORITO is strictly a Latin club-tune. Concluding CONSCIENTE Y POSITIVO is not a mere hectic mixture, rather it is a stylistic exposure to versatile sounds.
