Malpais Band in Costa Rica

Malpaís is a band from Costa Rica. The musicians of Malpaís perhaps best exemplify the “new sound” of Costa Rica – contemporary compositions that build on the solid tradition of their musical roots. The group takes its name from the most remote, jungle-cradled beach on the north-Pacific Nicoya Peninsula – the beach at road’s end.
