Horoscope - Carne (2019)

About 'Carne.'

'Carne.' is the new record by Rene J. Nunez-Cabrera, who performs and records under the name Horoscope. 'Carne.', the third in a trilogy of records for Wharf Cat Records, presents a blurred tension between the roots of traditional Cuban music and a yearning for detachment and freedom from nostalgia. While exploring his Cuban-American culture and its history in electro-acoustics and melodramatics, Nunez-Cabrera creates a song-cycle that is both abstract and autobiographical.

'Carne.' was written and performed by Nunez-Cabrera, using synth, tape, vocals, clave, and effects, and features Elsner Nino and Cesar Toribio on percussion, Dory Bello on vocals, Drew McDowall on vibraphone, and Mickey D. Grand, IV, on saxophone and composition. Recorded in Brooklyn, New York, with additional source material recorded in Miami, Florida, in 2018.
