They play good, hard metal, but a bit lyrically. They have a great stage presence and put on a fantastic show. They have a number of compositions, some of which, like Promonicion, have become quite popular, and when they play a cover, they make it their own without abandoning tradition. Besides Premonicion, I particularly like their cover of Kalamarka&#8217;s Ama suya, ama llulla, ama kella. They convert the folk staple to a powerful rocker.<\/p>\n<p>Ama sua, ama llulla, ama kella is a Quechua statement philosophy of the right way to live, sometimes called Vivir Bien, or &#8220;live good.&#8221;  Literally, it means, Thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not be lazy.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Y2QNI84J43s[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>Premonicion is the title track of their latest album, which I strongly suggest you go out and find.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube]http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PJqjCHvsnPs[\/youtube]<\/p>\n<p>Armadura is made up of:<\/p>\n<p>Boris Mendez Cosio, Vocals<br \/>\nFranz Thames Rossel, Guitar<br \/>\nIvan Mendez Cossio, Guitar<br \/>\nMarco Antonio S\u00e1nchez Martinez, Bass<br \/>\nLeonardo Marcelo Borda Bellido, Drums<br \/>\nIvan Alejandra Marquez Gonzalez, Wind &#038; Violin<br \/>\nInes Veronica Gonzalez Ruiz, Wind &#038; Charango<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4172\" style=\"width: 437px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/memmott.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/imgscan042.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4172\" src=\"http:\/\/memmott.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/imgscan042.jpg\" alt=\"Most recent album: Premonicion\" width=\"427\" height=\"408\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4172\" srcset=\"http:\/\/memmott.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/imgscan042.jpg 427w, http:\/\/memmott.us\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/imgscan042-300x286.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 427px) 100vw, 427px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4172\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Most recent album: Premonicion<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Armadura is one of my favorite Bolivian bands.
