Agua del Sol is an album by Hijos de Agueybana, a rhythm-heavy band devoted to Pueto Rico's Afro-Latin musical heritage, as encompassed by the heady beats of bomba music. Originally created by African slaves in centuries past, bomba is alive and humming today; Agua del Sol dares to blend elements of bomba with genres such as salsa and jazz, creating a unique and marvelously lively experience. Highly recommended, especially for connoisseurs of international music. The tracks are "Saludo al Sol" (6:08), "Ven Ven" (3:16), "Te Invito" (3:26), "Ohami" (3:16), "Morenita" (3:40), "Agua del Sol" (4:35), "No me dejes solo" (3:34), "Orgulloso" (4:11), "Eco" (4:07), "Loren" (4:31), "Bandido" (3:25), "En la Vecinda" (3:22), and "Te Invity/Jazz ver." (4:56).
