The timing of the Baboons’ first album in 15 years does not hold any particular significance, bandleaders Mano Pila and wife Majica say.

Life, which had gotten so complicated for its seven members, with jobs and spouses and kids, became less chaotic. And their backlog of songs had reached critical mass: They had too many good ones that demanded to be shared. It was time.

But in listening to the album, “Spanglish,” a travelogue of stories, lingo and influences at once exotic and intensely local, it doesn’t take long to recognize something in short supply these days. It is the sound of cultures living together and getting along. And it hits you: It is time.

The album is a kaleidoscope of life in South Florida, a cinematic stroll among the characters and neighborhoods where the Baboons have lived and worked and observed life for decades. Cuban, Colombian, Jamaican, Haitian and Eastern European rhythms percolate together in the same pot.

Along with Pila, the drummer known as Mano P, and lead vocalist Majica, the Baboons include percussionst Miguel Rega, Ike Blues (Isaac Rodriguez) on guitar and vocals, Michael Mut on bass, and Dominick Cama and Paul Messina on saxophones and flutes.

“All of these songs and different cultures and characters, little by little we were forming this tapestry of South Florida with small stories, everyday people,” says Pila, the drummer known as Mano P.

“Cebolla” depicts an aging mambo master who works construction by day, blowing his horn at night. “Dashiki Blue” tells of a homesick college student who receives a parcel from home. The title track, about a girl transplanted to Miami from up North, who soon becomes “fluent in amor,” was dedicated by Mano to his wife.

The song “Pequena Habanera” is a simple but particularly resonant slice of life.

It’s about the girl in Little Havana who is sort of seduced by the son of the bakery store owner,” Mano says. “He know she goes there every day for a pastelito, and one day he gives her three. He makes his feelings known, and then they stroll up and down Little Havana as if it were El Malecon. That’s a very Miami story. I feel like I know that girl.”

Majica also brings in other styles: Her song “Crazy Confirmation” unwinds with a country-gospel twirl, and “This Is Me,” is a bouncy ‘50s rocker that feels straight out of the Phil Spector songbook.

The couple, who host a world-music radio show called “Global Gumbo,” 4-6 p.m. Sunday on WDNA (88.9 FM), say the flow between world-music and Americana is an important element.

“You know, we grew up with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Led Zeppelin, the Who, Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell, Aretha Franklin, Motown, Stevie Wonder, and Ruben Blades, the Fania Allstars, the classic sons, Bob Marley. All that stuff, we love that stuff,” Mano says.

The Baboons will play their new music and more during an album-release show Saturday at the North Beach Bandshell (7275 Collins Ave., Miami Beach), part of the Day at the Beach concert series.

Music begins at 2 p.m. with a bill that also includes headliners Third World, Bob Marley’s grandsons Jo Mersa and Yohan Marley, Big Harvest, Uma Galera and DJ Gravy. The Baboons go on at 6:45 p.m., leading into the performance by Third World. Tickets are $20 and $30. Info: NorthBeachBandshell.com, Facebook.com/TheBaboons.
