How do you categorize Omar Rodriguez-Lopez? He’s been a part of the Mars Volta and At The Drive-In, worked with the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ John Frusciante, composed music for recent film The Burning Plain and rocked a thoroughly fabulous ‘fro. Currently a solo performer, Rodriguez-Lopez is about to self-release Xenophanes. Lead single “Mundo De Ciegos” (literally “World Of The Blind”) is a fairly badass mix of Spanish lyrics, heavy riffs and guitar solos that will strip the paint from your walls. So enjoy this number—just plan on doing some redecorating in the near future.

I was wondering who does the vocals on this song ” mundo de ciegos”
Omar and Ximena
Omar does the vocals and Ximena Sariñana does some backing vocals.
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez does lead vocals and Ximena Sarinana does back-up vocals.
For Omar’s first real venture into the vocal aspect of his music, whether or not his voice has actual tonal quality or it’s just his amazing ability to fine-tune an electronic signal to bend to his will…he does a surprisingly good job.
