The band name, Diles Que No Me Maten, translates to “Tell them not to kill me.” That alone should perk up your ears before you even hear a note. When you press play on Escrito En Agua, the Mexico City band’s new album released this month, you may then be further intrigued by the funereal New Orleans jazz dirge that greets you. And when that song, “Las noches que dormimos en sillas,” leads you to “Hiriku,” you may wonder how you ended up traversing space and time to a Can show in Cologne in 1971. Any lingering confusion will soon give way to excitement about this wholly unique ensemble.
