Pepitin Y La Ley Mayor

Estudiando...!
Import CD (Lujuria 0004), Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
Here’s a novel idea: get together a Cuban band, add a horn section anchored by a baritone saxophone, and let a singer improvise, all done in a Puerto Rican style. And does it work? Sure, really well; Pepitin, (not to be confused with Pupy’s ex-singer, Pepito) a young singer from Manzanillo, Granma, Cuba, puts himself in a role, and backed by an Envidia all-star band, sings his way through pure Puerto Rican salsa, all of it slick and swinging and totally untouched by timba. Go figure; he even throws in “estudiando,” in his improvisations, so better to separate himself on the air. And on the air this stuff belongs, a super strong, urgent Cuban update on a classic Puerto Rican sound. A ton of fun.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-07-23)
