Described as a “pan-Latin American martini: equal parts traditional instruments (Spanish classical guitar, accordion, horns & more) and deep, urban grooves with a dash of Esquivel and a measure of Morricone.” Think Colombian cumbia dance grooves backed by programmed Latin beats. It’s playful, sexy and surprisingly engaging. Nearly all instruments played by Michael Ramos. *1. A sophisticated lounge groove for guitar/horns/perc. 2. Accordions & electronica merge in this relaxed groove. 3. A warm & swaying dance w/vocals. Very nice. *4. Keyboards & vocals in a sexy midtempo thing. Sudden end. *5. The cha cha lounge is now open. So cool. 6. Guitars & accordion, midtempo. Nice cello solo. *7. Delicious dance w/vocals/sax/perc. Warm & playful. 8. Nostalgic romance for strings/perc. Relaxed & lush. *9. Midtempo & melodic w/excellent work from the band. 10. Sultry midtempo groove w/a hint of Latin jazz. 11. Upbeat vocal track w/lots of perc/strings/keyboards. *12. Lazy at first, then picks up & goes into space. Odd but cool. *13. A modern cumbia swing w/lots horns/perc. 14. Remix of #7…not as good, in my opinion. 11/2004 | ||
