Son De Tikizia
Pa' Los Pies - Salsa Dura
Import
CD
(Son De Tikizia 001),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
They came roaring in from Costa Rica, riding a hard sound — a band that has backed Ruben Blades — and it all sounded good, with coros chopping away at the time, and the singer rising through the blows of the coro and the horns, the percussion slapping away, like wood hitting wood. And from Costa Rica they were, Son de Tikizia, a hot little salsa outfit that has no fear of strange stuff, like using computerized voices on a tune, or on "No me Importa" overdubbing the lead singer’s voice, and manipulating it, and having the whole tune be like a sample, just a short fragment. Or playing a bit of Bach counterpoint against the rhythm section. Or on "Me Quite Las Vendas," laying down some 12 cylinder, salsa dura with shout outs to Johnny Pacheco and Pete "El Conde Rodriguez." At times experimental, and always grooving and right. This stuff’s very, very cool, and very achieved.
Highly Recommended, on the condition that the band does even more experimenting next time around. (Peter Watrous, 2008-02-27)
