We Love Music: Helado Negro
Helado Negro is one of our favorite musicians. He just released an incredibly beautiful track that was recorded live at KCRW in LA. The song is called Sabana de Luz (Sheet of Light) and you can listen to its haunting, playful sound on Bandcamp. Makes a person want to see it performed live, right?
País Nublado, one of our other fave tracks by Helado Negro, is a melancholy lament that we’ve got on steady rotation. Enjoy!
