3 d. ago ‘We’re zombies. We’ve lost all connection to one another’: Astropical, the Latin supergroup healing our broken brains

After his band Rawayana were driven out of Venezuela by their own president, Beto Montenegro joined with Li Saumet of Bomba Estéreo to make music that battles political strife with pure joyThe coming together of two of Latin America’s most successful and inventive pop acts might seem like a market-savvy partnership dreamed up by their record labels, but for Li Saumet, frontwoman of Colombia’s Bomba Estéreo, it’s a cosmic calling.“One day I received a message from the universe: it’s time to make a song with Rawayana,” she says, sitting next to Beto Montenegro, frontman with that Venezuelan band and now Saumet’s partner in the supergroup Astropical. In a Bogotá hotel ahead of a performance at Estéreo Picnic festival, the duo regularly finish each other’s sentences, and Saumet rests her head on Montenegro’s shoulder with the ease of a sibling. On Astropical’s self-titled debut album, Saumet’s vibrant calls to dance and appreciate natural beauty bounce harmoniously off Montenegro’s soft...

4 d. ago Dortmund banish some of their 2023 ghosts while Leipzig and Freiburg create their own | Andy Brassell

Niko Kovac oversaw a remarkable comeback but there is plenty of work to be done for BVB to challenge Bayern againThe last time Borussia Dortmund had enjoyed an end-of-season run-in as successful as this was that season. Nearly two years on Niko Kovac and company didn’t quite lay the ghost of 2023 but began to definitively draw a line under the fallout from it. On this occasion BVB faced what should have been a straightforward final day task at home and made it so. Where they had been cowed by nerves against Mainz in the last game of 2022-23 and let the Bundesliga slip through their collective fingers, this time they were ready to receive an unexpected opportunity.This time there was the right to a celebration, and there was the feeling that it had been earned. Pointing out that Saturday’s final-day win over already-relegated Holstein Kiel perhaps salvaged the bare minimum – a top-four place – from this season would be to miss the point and to disregard the context. BVB had been lang...

1 week ago Xabi Alonso basks in hero’s sendoff but Dortmund ruin Leverkusen party | Andy Brassell

Both sets of fans thanked Spaniard for breaking Bayern’s hegemony – then Dortmund found a ‘killer instinct’It was the last two and a half years in a nutshell; deliciously inventive, daringly late and, quite frankly, a bit too good for Borussia Dortmund. As stoppage time ticked on Florian Wirtz received the ball on the left, seemingly without an angle for a cross; so he dug out a spinning ball with the outside of his foot, spearing it to the back post. The substitute Jonas Hofmann snuck around the back of the defence to bullet a diving header into the far corner as we went into the second minute of added time, another goal at the last for Bayer Leverkusen. Yet there was just a muted cheer and as the familiar chords of ATC’s All Around The World greeted the strike from the sound system, they were met by considerable echo.This time, it was already over. Xabi Alonso’s side had lost a Bundesliga game for only the third time this season but the moment had long since passed, for coach and ...
