Bio Ritmo

Bionico

Locutor ***

The salsa band Bio Ritmo prove that they have the technology on Bionico , its title taken from a piano riff that hints at the theme from that supremely cheesy classic, The Bionic Man . The album, similarly, is bent on being better, stronger, faster: classic salsa beats are fused with thumb pianos, Egyptian riffs, Oliver Nelson tunes and synthesiser bleeps and whistles; Bobby Valentin's warhorse "Seguiras Criticando" plays out with an extended Afrobeat coda. Bionico , if sometimes exhausting, is never less than fun.
