Multinational acoustic group Che Apalache mixes bluegrass with global styles of folk music on sparkling new album ‘Rearrange My Heart.' Here is why they are the Americana Artists You Need to Know
Che Apalache blend bluegrass and Latin American forms of music on the new album 'Rearrange My Heart.'As a young man, Che Apalache leader Joe Troop left his native North Carolina and spent time working and playing music in other parts of the world — Spain, Morocco, and Japan, before settling in Argentina. He’s lived the immigrant experience as an American abroad, and that instilled in him a great amount of empathy for anyone attempting to do likewise in the States.
Troop and his bandmates — Argentina natives Franco Martino and Martin Bobrik, and Mexico native Pau Barjau — turn that appreciation into celebration and even activism on Che Apalache’s newly releasedproduced by roots-music luminary Bela Fleck. Fusing Troop’s bluegrass background and fiddle playing with traditional music from Latin America and other parts of the world, the group merges cultures to smash through the boundaries often set up around many types of folk music.
“I had developed certain songs that were like, ‘We should try this as a quartet,'” says Troop. “That’s when we started exploring ‘Latingrass’ as a concept and that’s when all the magic happened. It happened naturally. Because the guys had this in them.”, this shows up in the lively rhythmic workout of “Maria” and the delicate, interweaving instrumentation of “24 de Marzo .
“He’s every bit as much of a North Carolinian as me, but because he doesn’t have papers, because he’s undocumented, the trajectories of our lives have been vastly different,” says Troop.number that reaches across borders to suggest we all have more in common and in greater numbers than anyone who would try to stick a wall between the U.S. and Mexico. “If such nonsense should come true, then we’ll have to knock it down,” they sing, in four-part harmony.
