Released 2010;
Editor's Pick:
This first class rumba project is being touted as the first analog rumba recording out of Miami in over 20 years! Whether or not that is important, I'm not sure. But I do know good rumba when I hear it, and folks, this is primo stuff. The core band is the unconventional Spam Allstars, and they're joined by respected percussionists Tomás Diaz (Matanzas, Cuba) and Ray Romero Jr., son of the esteemed "Little Ray" Romero who played percussion with Miguelito Valdez, Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and many other legends. Their debut recording also features Boris Monterecy (Grupo Clave y Guaguanco), Sonyalsi Feldman, Mercedes Abal, Lazaro Alfonso, Joxi Caballero, Diosvany Boulet, Yoel del Sol, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jose Elias, and J.J. Freire.
Worth mentioning is the cover art by Charlie Rosario, who created distinctive covers for Charlie Palmieri, Tito Puente and other artists on Fania, Coco and other 60’s and 70’s Latin labels.
Rumbaphiles, it is in your interest to check this one out out asap. It very well might be the folkloric record of the year, at least from the US.
Very Highly Recommended. (DR, 2010-02-02)
