About This Song
About "Merengue" by Malcolm McLaren
A buoyant, brass-driven excursion into merengue by way of McLaren's magpie imagination. The rhythm is joyous, the execution slightly off-kilter—a pastiche that knows it's a pastiche. The tension is between the dance's warmth and the cool, conceptual remove of the artist pulling the strings. Infectious and uneasy.
