Che Apalache

Uniquely fusing bluegrass with Latin traditions, Che Apalache are a string band based out of the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aires. Spearheaded by an American expat fiddler named Joe Troop, the group started out as more of a straightforward bluegrass unit, though by the time of their 2017 debut, they'd begun to incorporate a variety of unusual influences into their sound, from flamenco to Uruguayan murga and candombe styles. Their self-described Latingrass caught the ear of banjo innovator Béla Fleck, who produced Che Apalache's 2019 follow-up, Rearrange My Heart. A native of the Piedmont area of North Carolina, Troop grew up surrounded by the traditional music of the Appalachian foothills. Choosing to leave his home territory, he became somewhat of a global wayfarer, living for various times in Spain, Morocco, and Japan before finally immigrating to Argentina, where he began teaching bluegrass lessons. Although bluegrass scarcely existed in South America, his efforts helped ignite a very small, but fervent following for the genre, and in 2013, he put together a quartet featuring himself on vocals and fiddle, a Mexican banjo player named Pau Barjau, and two Argentinians, Franco Martino and Martin Bobrik, on guitar and mandolin, respectively. Che Apalache spent their first several years gigging around Buenos Aires, where their distinctly Appalachian sound was celebrated as a sort of thrilling novelty. Over time, Troop's bandmates began to infuse the group with some of their own musical heritage, and they began to refer to themselves as a Latingrass band. In fact, Latin Grass became the title for their debut album, which they released in 2017 and followed with their first tour of the U.S. During a festival in the Appalachians, they befriended multi-genre banjo icon Béla Fleck, and he agreed to produce their next album. Released by Free Dirt Records in 2019, Rearrange My Heart continued to expand the quartet's sound outward, blending in more Latin influence along with touches of European folk music.
