Shahzad Ali Ismaily Vs. Nino Lento Es Fuego Ahora Contra El Resto De Los Tiempos Vol. 1 LP Vinyl

This album records a mystic standoff between Shahzad Ismaily on drums and Ni±o Lento es Fuego on electric guitar, featuring hypnotic synth storms and spiritual beats brewed into a heavy healing trance. "It was like having that conversation that we never really had, " says Ni±o Lento es Fuego (a.k.a guitarist Camilo Rodriguez), "'cause he's shy, and me too." Ni±o Lento and Shahzad Ismaily - multi-instrumentalist, producer and studio owner - have been circling each other for years. They are both legendary players and leaders in their own right who have built many musical worlds in Brooklyn. Ismaily records and performs with artists such as Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Laura Veirs, Sam Amidon, Ceramic Dog, Secret Chiefs 3, John Zorn, Will Oldham and Nels Cline. Rodriguez is a NY-based guitarist and percussionist who co-founded Combo Chimbita, M.A.K.U Soundsystem, Bulla en el Barrio, and Carolina Oliveros y la Naci?n along with fellow Colombians in New York. He also performs with La Cumbiamba eNeY?, where he first met Ismaily.
