New York Times, CD review >>
by Jon Pareles
SIDESTEPPER; ZEMOG, EL GALLO BUENO Give Latin American styles some resistance, and they sound even more vital. Sidestepper's second album, "3 AM (In Beats We Trust)" (Palm Pictures), sets up an intriguing tenson between the human voices and pulses of Latin America and a metronomic, melancholy undertow of club beats and loops, though some tracks settle for a reggae common denominator. On its self-titled album (Aagoo), Zemog, El Gallo Bueno, a Boston band, twists salsa and Puerto Rican rhythms through the key-changing convolutions of Frank Zappa and Sun Ra. It's alt-salsa as American party music. 05/04/03 >> go there
