PREMIERE | LPT Releases Galvanizing ‘Sin Parar’
Meet LPT — purveyors of Salsa Dura and Afro-Cuban music from Jacksonville, Florida. Today, LPT introduces their new single, “Sin Parar,” the title track from their forthcoming debut album, slated for release January 2020.
“Sin Parar” translates to “non-stop.” Lead vocalist Josué A. Cruz explains, “The inspiration for the single is the feeling we all get from the machine. ‘The Machine’ as a metaphor for life, work, tech, and family going non-stop. As a band we decided that if the machine is going to march on without stopping then so are we. It’s almost innate in the metaphor that you have to keep marching on if the machine is marching on. It’s the only way to deal with the grinding of the gears and nerves.”
Initially a septet, LPT formed in 2015 and in due course expanded to a ten-piece orchestra made up of Milan Algood (timbales, vocals), Josué A. Cruz (lead vocals), Angel Garcia (keyboards, vocals), Mike Emmert (baritone sax), Bryant Patterson (trombone), Jonah Pierre (bongo, bell), Stan Piper (bass), Juan Carlos Rollan (tenor sax, vocals), JP Salvat (congas), and Steve Strawley (trumpet).
