Bio Ritmo -
Bionico (Locutor)
Richmond, VA's Bio Ritmo describe their music as "bionic salsa," which means it sounds a whole lot like a Latin-themed soundtrack to a 1960's Star Trek episode. It's salsa for the Space Age played by a ridiculously tight and competent band, which not only makes the record interesting to listen to, it's unmistakeably dance-able. "Lisandra" is a particular standout, a tune that would no doubt inspire lovers of Latin vibes as well as folks more familiar with funk. "A la cha," apparently inspired by Abdel Halim Hafez's music, is another example of this band's willingness to play around with what just might be possible for salsa-clearly, a whole lot, if Bionico is any indication.
