World - Eclectic musical taste from all over...

Post by Derek »

Juan de Marcos & The Afro Cuban All Stars.
"Step Forward"


Image

An Album of twelve different styles Latin, Funk, Jazz, Son, Bolero...with over 50 very tight playing musicians, confidently put together, it works very as a whole.
If this signaled the next phase after The Buena Vista Social Culb then I've just jumped on the band wagon. Superb music Superbly recorded.
Give it some volume and let the music take you just magic.
Track 5 "Addimu a changa" opens with a rolling thunder storm, I checked had the weather taken a turn for the worse.

I caught a few snippets of it, it looked interesting.

very odd but kinda wonderful performance from a busker in Lisbon. I suspect he has a few mid 1980s Tom Waits CDs somewhere.

Picked up via Niall (Cloney Audio) on Facebook.

there's more than a hint of bad acid in the melody alright.

I'm not quite sure if it fits in here but it certainly suited today's sunshine.
