Zemog El Gallo Bueno

 
Totally over-the-top eclecticism like rock en espanol hardly ever makes anymore: more all-encompassing than Manu Chao, even.  Not to mention heavier, artsier, and maybe wackier--yet no less catchy.  Abraham Gomez-Delgado (note backward-masking in band name) has called rural and urban Puerto Rico and Peru home, and names among his inspirations Ellington, Gillespie, Sun Ra, Eddie Palmieri, Henry Threadgill, Anthony Braxton, Santana, Devo, Metallica, Public Enemy, and Tuvan throat-singing, all of which make a mark on his 10-piece band' CD.  As does a hidden track with chicken and cricket noises.  With Mofongo.  Saturday at 8:30.  Makor, 35 West 67th St, 212-601-1000.
