'Loop Explorations’ by Camilo Menjura

What started as a one-off experiment for a choral music festival became the latest album by the much-loved London-based Colombian singer-songwriter and choral master Camilo Menjura. Loop Exploration is the result of Menjura's adventure with a loop station, that piece of hardware being championed by artists such as Ed Sheeran and Reggie Watts, which this time gets the Latino treatment. Using modern technology to approach Latin American classics such as "Toro Mata" and "Negra la Quiero" Camilo uses his tender voice to deliver a innovative and well-crafted album where less is more and the final product deserves to be applauded.
