![Dos Santos Band Interview: City of Mirrors Dynamically Reflects U.S. Latin American Musical Identity - https://bit.ly/redefinesantos
On City of Mirrors, the fourth full-length record from Chicago’s Dos Santos, the five-piece band once again showcases their musical expertise by presenting a rich, multicultural melting pot of sounds. Coming from wide-ranging diasporic backgrounds, the members of Dos Santos are active participants and students of Latin American musical traditions, and it is in these traditions that they anchor themselves creatively, then expand upon them with ease, grace, and singular originality...
“There’s an aspect of [“City of Mirrors”] that is very melancholic or sounds a bit like a lament,” explains Chavez, who was then challenged to find a suitable lyrical counterpart.
Thus, “City of Mirrors” came to be named after Macondo, a fictional city found in Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez’s landmark novel, 100 Years of Solitude. As Chavez describes, Macondo is a central character throughout the book — “this sort of magical city which is at once this place of both beauty and dread; mourning and hope,” referred often by Márquez as the City of Mirages or City of Mirrors.

“Whether that be rhythm and thinking about the richness of the rhythmic anchors of a lot of Latin American music, or the tradition of Latin American song — [which can include] the poetics of traditional Mexican music or the melodrama of Latin American romantic song — all of that has always informed what we do,” explains lead singer and multi-instrumentalist Alex Chavez.
