 Editor's Pick:
Terrific old-school salsa -- with trumpets *and* trombones -- and plenty of sabor and verve.
Some tracks are in the style of, say, Eddie Palmieri's La Perfecta, or Conjunto Libre where a simple coro phrase is often used as the basis for extended jams. "Atrevete" is a good example of that, and it's one of the best tracks on the CD. "Fabula," an unusual number, borrows from both Caribbean and South American sensibilities (is that also joropa? Brazilian?)and injecting it with a bit of techno-house flair. By far, the most modern track here (and featuring the electro-duck), and it would be interesting if they pushed further in this direction in their next release.
"Para Los Romperos" is a blow-out mambo-jazz like dance number might have been a hit at the Palladium.  02/01/04 >> go there
