On their album Agua Dulce, Berlin-based Peruvian duo Alejandra Cárdenas and Laura Robles explore the rhythmic structures that underpin the complexities of Afro-Peruvian music and dance. Wielding an electronic cajón, an electric guitar and various other machines, they reconnect with oft-forgotten rhythms that propel them into future dimensions. At the crossroads of experimental, lo-fi, noise and percussion, their music constitutes a quest for radicality; for transforming what has gone before, and changing what comes next.

Ale Hop & Laura Robles are curated by Unsound at Nuits sonores 2024, as part of the NS DAY 4.
