Hispanic, CD Review >>

Sidestepper founder Richard Blair succeeds in bringing many worlds together on a disk that for the first time captures the rhythmic range of his group, whether it is gigging in the hippest insider club in Bogota, or pulsing in London. The rhythms and spirit of Colombia are at the heart of Bueno Vibra Sound System, but this extraordinary CD also draws influences from Jamaica and Nigeria, as well as South America. Here, roots music lives in perfect harmony with the trendiest dance music you’re likely to hear on the planet. Is that jazz you’re hearing, Latin funk or even reggaeton? It may be all the above—and more. The nine tracks exist in a sonic time zone of their own.
