Alexandre “Asere” Sumi and his brother embarked on a new musical journey with Los Hermanos del Alma, a Swiss-Cuban band that masterfully blends Latin rock with global influences. The project took root in 2019 when the duo immersed themselves in Cuba’s vibrant music scene. Surrounded by talented Cuban musicians and singers, they forged deep bonds that transcended music, cultivating friendships that would shape their sound.
The result is “Oya,” an afro-Cuban rock record that defies genre boundaries, incorporating elements of afro-beat, rock-fusion, Latin-jazz, soul-rap, and dub. This captivating album boasts multiple layers of listening, ensuring music lovers are treated to novel discoveries and explorations. Los Hermanos del Alma’s musical alchemy combines powerful rock and rumba elements, reflecting the spirit and creativity of Cuban culture.
In a recent collaboration, the band teamed up with South African deep house maestro Cuebur for a remix that’s both hypnotic and ancestral. This slow-burning track is designed for deeper dancefloors, showcasing the band’s ability to craft music that’s both explosive and surprising. With a lineup of musicians and singers living in Europe and Cuba, Los Hermanos del Alma is a musical family that continues to grow, bridging continents and rhythms.
