Best of 2011 Award Winner
Oomph! What a pristine and heavily swinging vibes-based based salsa, mambo and jazzy boogaloo project. This one brings to mind the best of the Joe Cuba / Jimmy Sabater / Cheo Feliciano collaborations of the '60s and '70s. A modern take on the classic sounds of the golden age of Latin dance music. Vocalistas con estilo George Luis Balmaseda, Johnny Crespo and Victor Muņiz are backed by some heavy hitters like bassist Rene Camacho (who has worked with Jack Costanzo, Bobby Matos, Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars, Susie Hansen...) pianist Joe Rotundi (Bongo Logic, Caravana Cubana, Pete Escovedo) and percussionist Angelo Rodriguez (Chino Espinoza) and others. This is the kind of project we wait for here at Descarga. Take a listen to the groove on Por Falta De Compresion ...the essence of sabor. On Chata Kun Kun Victor Muņiz gives props to dozens of iconic influences. After hearing Chapter 1 we predict that future bands will be giving their props to Lucky 7 Mambo.
So, don't just sit there... buy this gem right now! Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2011-05-08)
