Balboa
Alvaro Ruiz
     
   

Among the 22 million inhabitants of Mexico City, one of them calls himself Balboa. Alvaro Ruiz is the man behind this project and others as diverse as his Mexotica electro outfit Ruisort, the musique concrete influenced material released under his name and the quirky, experimental electronic pop of ³Plastic Judas On Fire², his first and only album under the Balboa alias. Balboa fuses the influence of famed Mexican composers Silvestre Revueltas and Juan Garcia Esquivel, with Alvaro¹s own skillfull expertise at electronic funk and digital sound processing. The end result is offbeat music that is intelligent, precise and challenging, while being as warm, engaging and rewarding as classic pop, with a healthy dose of irony thrown in for good measure. Alvaro has also released material for the Igloo and Static Discos labels, and is currently working on his self explanatorily titled ³Algoryhthm and Blues² album where DSP meets traditional blues and jazz instrumentation.
