Controversial left-wing rap trio from Valencia Los Chikos del Maíz's long-awaited proper first album, after six years of demos and solo projects by their members. Irreverent, provocative, militant, and most of all politically incorrect,
Pasion de Talibanes is full of references to pop culture and barbed attacks at Spain's cultural stereotypes and taboos, celebrities, and politicians. The album title is a pun on popular Colombian soap opera's Pasión de Gavilanes. ~ Mariano Prunes
