Arsenal Efectivo
Seguiremos Trabajando
Album · Regional Mexican · 2020
Like their labelmates at Rancho Humilde, Arsenal Efectivo capture the sound of the streets with lived-in realness. From signature corridos verdes like “L.A. Dank” to self-described trap corridos like “Trabajando y Progresando”, Seguiremos Trabajando proves a strong follow-up to 2017’s prescient En La Fuga. Apart from the narco-minded lyricism, the trio’s dual guitar approach and very prominent slap bass give them a leg up on some of their peers in the regional urbano scene, as evidenced by “Playas” and “Sea Donde Sea”. To that end, there’s almost a classic-rock flair to the scorching title track and the brash closer “Con Esperanzas”, indicative of the inherent might behind their essentially acoustic musicianship.
