Phil Manzanera's early musical accomplishments were Cuban folksongs learnt against the upheaval of the Cuban Revolution. The scenes witnessed at this time made a deep impression on the young Manzanera, impressions which have surfaced in much of his music. Phil, Roxy Music guitarist and record producer and Lucho Brieva, artist and sculptor, release Corroncho 2, the follow-up album to 2010's critically acclaimed Corroncho, on 31 January 2017, Manzanera's 66th birthday. The Spanish speaking concept album tells the story of two hapless compadres from the Caribbean coast of Colombia, "Corronchos", who go on a road trip to the' promised land, specifically Queens, in New York. Mistakenly turning right instead of left from Cartagena on the Caribbean coast, the 13 tracks document their incident-strewn adventures, as they navigate through the countries and cultures of South America, shining a light in their irreverent and humorous way, on the many issues of the Latino man, Love, Death, Politics and Dancing. The album's release coincides with Manzanera's appearance at the Hay Festival in Cartagena. Corroncho 2 is released by Expression Records.
