Yasser Tejeda & his band Palotré have announced the new album 'Kijombo' (October 11th Release) with the the lead single “Nuestras Raices.” The track is a frenetic, celebratory vehicle of Dominican palo rhythms that mixes together three different percussive instruments called 'Palos', a hyperactive horn section and Tejeda’s power chord guitar, sounding like Carlos Santana in his early 70s Caravanserai moment. The “Nuestras Raices” video is a visual representation of the album as a whole - between New York and Mata de los Indios, a small community in Villa Mella, Dominican Republic.
