The Caribbean Dance Rock Sound ...
La Sovietika is a mix of merengue, house, salsa, rock, Palos, Plena, ga-ga, soukouss and good ol' rock n roll. The live performances are full-on hip-shaking orgies overpowered by a raw musical sound.
Jorge Subervi & Robert Julian started La Sovietika as a way to combine all their musical influences into one band.
In discussing the bands influences Bassist Jorge says "I grew up on classic rock and later on got into house and electronica, but I also love 80's merengue and salsa as well as all kinds of roots music from the caribbean. So its a combination of all of those elements and tons more of influences that make up this sound."
"Basically" says Guitarist Robert "if you listen close to our music you can hear a house drum beat and a Palos pattern on percussion and me playing rock on the guitar. It is that mix that creates our sound.The Caribbean Dance Rock Sound is here !
