Editor's Pick:
What a great way to begin a new year! Calambuco, from Bogotá, Colómbia, has produced an infectious, finely crafted salsa-packed CD for the discerning listener and, of course, the dancers. I was at one of my distributors talking with conguero Papo Pepín when the track "Candelaria" started to blast through the stereo speakers. We both looked up and did as mutual "Wow!". Directed by pianist Andrés Felipe Succar, Calambuco is a first class band whose repertoire encompasses not only sizzling salsa like "Africa Salsera" but the slow-cooking "Guajira de Un Abandonado". Check out the heat on the descarga-mambo "Ritmo De Succar". Or listen to Santiago Jiménez' tres work on "Te Falta Ritmo". Como En El Barrio just may be one of the highlights of 2007. Each track here is a gem. With Angela (yes, Angela) Tapiero on timbales. She rocks.
With liner notes by the esteemed writer Umberto Valverde.
DJ Alert! Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-01-02)
