A party anthem about feeling uncomfortable at the function makes perfect sense. But under the experimental guise of Ecuadorian indie stars Menino Gutto, San Pedro Bonfim, and Curandeira, “Maduro con queso” turns the captivating premise into a hypnotic, paranoid cumbia full of noisy vocal samples and comforting sugary treats. Harnessing the group’s mixed Andean and Brazilian heritage, Gutto’s production melds theatrical bassoon with fluttering flutes that nod to bossa nova and Bonfim-led harmonies evocative of classic trio records. The result is an invitation to sip your drink and get lost in the soundtrack, vibing to the party in your head when a sea of necking lovers becomes too overwhelming.
