Malpaís (group)
Malpaís is a band from Costa Rica. The music of Malpaís is part of the Costa Rica-contemporary compositions work, called by the band "Costarican new song". The musicians are trying to relate the concept to the early folk and protest folk tradition of Latin America, mixing musical structures of regional and local folk genres such as calypso and tambito with easy-listening jazz (breaks and progressions) and romantic lyrics inspired in Latin American songwriters in order to be perceived as if they are built on the solid tradition of their musical roots. The group takes its name from the most remote, jungle-cradled beach on the north-Pacific Nicoya Peninsula—the beach at road’s end.

gollark: In some of the sillier ones you effectively have some sort of secondary time axis (because if history "was" X but is "now" Y that implies some sort of metatime).
gollark: Depends on the model of time travel I guess.

gollark: (Yes this is for some reason a long thread on some other platform as an image on Reddit. I don't have a better format available and it's relevant-ish)
