(Zazon Productions 001),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
Bronx Orquesta was founded in 2006 in Bogotá, Colombia, gaining popularity in the Festival del Verano in Calí soon after. The sound is that of double trombones, prominent percussion, and multiple vocalists. Though they wish to emulate Bronx natives Eddie Palmieri and Willie Colon, this album is not at that caliber, and it seems a bit muddled in its attempt to balance hot salsa dura on the one hand and squishy romantic pop salsa on the other (there are some really bad synthesizer bits here). That said, the up salsa brava numbers are quite strong, though there is that characteristic Colombian penchant for breakneck speed and hyper nasal coros. Stand out DJ cuts are the bone-crushingly hard “Goza La Vida” and the nice guaguanco “Muchachita de Ojazos Negros,” with its funky hand claps. “Me Gusta La Rumba” is a fast number that will burn holes in your dancin’ shoes, while “Mi Negra” gives you a chance to take it slower with a tasty son montuno. The rest is not so good, but the high quality packaging, hard salsa tunes, prominent ‘bones, and overall diversity save it. Recommended. (Pablo Yglesias, 2008-04-30)
