With a catchy fusion of rock and electronica, 'Sudamericana' is the debut album from acclaimed indie band Santé Les Amis. This week, tastemaker radio station KCRW presents the exclusive debut of the full album stream, praising the bands “groovy, disco-inflected songs, suitable for dancing along to or rocking out with. Sounds like Blondie playing a Morricone Spaghetti Western theme.”
Billboard has celebrated their single “Brasil” as one of the “Top 10 Latin Summer Songs of 2013” alongside more mainstream tracks from Enrique Iglesias and Don Omar. Billboard writes, “These Uruguayan electro-rockers have created a summer anthem for Latin Alternative fans with “Brasil.” This fist-pumping, disco-infused track is equally suited to celebrating a win or dancing off a defeat.”
PRI’s “The World” recently interviewed Sante Les Amis about their song “Brasil” in their World Cup preview, after iTunes featured the track as their “Single of the Week” in the US.
Sante Les Amis has toured with Franz Ferdinand, Foals and Calle 13, making the band a fan favorite among indie rock fans. With tracks in English and Spanish, 'Sudamericana' has won praise from, who celebrated their “funky, dance-floor-igniting goodness.”
'Sudamericana' has been enjoying early spins from KCRW (Los Angeles), KEXP (Seattle), KUNM (Albuquerque), KDHX (St. Louis), Radio Milwaukee (Wisconsin), KUNM (Albuquerque), KPFT (Houston), WTCC (Massachusetts) and more.
Named “A Band To Watch” by Rolling Stone (Argentina), Santé Les Amis will make their U.S. debut at the Latin Alternative Music Conference (LAMC) in New York this July.
