Aquarian Weekly, Review >>
By Derek Beres
Aib Gomez, a.k.a. Zemog (get it?), has some nerve. Very few musicians have the audacity to fuse rumba with a "Van Halen-inspired" Mozambique rhythm. Not only does the Boston resident try it out, but on "Rumba Pa'la Ninas" he succeeds brilliantly. Culling from Puerto Rican and Peruvian roots, tapping into the eternal spirit of Sun Ra and headless roosters (really, you gotta check this out), El Gallo Bueno (Aagoo Records) is the album Beck would have made if Tito Puente and Morphine were hanging around his pad with a bottle of tequila fiending for experimentation. Zemog is the new century's mad scientist, creating a musical hybrid so seemingly wrong it can be nothing but right.
