Tipa Tipo: “Poco Tiempo”
Latin yacht rock for your dancefloor. The Brooklyn-based Tipa Tipo make music that could easily pass back and forth between your average indie rock venue and a more club-forward dancehall. At least our highlighted track “Poco Tiempo,” although anyone leaning on the beat to move their body might be frustrated by the breezy, beatless breakdown midsong. Hey, it’s called building up the drama, the anticipation, the expectation, so when the beat kicks back in around the 3:00 mark, the whole room levels up. Off the full-length Cintas.
