From Mexico City, a blend of (in no particular order) ska, Latin dance, funk, punk, rock & hip-hop. Interesting and wonderfully energetic. This 2-CD release was recorded live in LA & has applause or spoken word at start/end of most tracks. Great guitars, percussion, horns, and vocals. It’s a party. They don’t do slow. *1. Starts w/applause/intro. Hip-hop into a hot Latin rock jam. *2. Great energy mid/uptempo w/a catchy Tropicale feel. 3. Crazy-fast eletronica Latino. 4. Nice funky, cha-cha rock vocal duet. Cool. *5. Hip-shaking goodness w/lovely work from the horns. 6. Like traditional Mexican folk music. Fast, very nice. *7. Gets into a fast Latin dance jam. 8. Fast Latin ska w/lots of catchy energy. 9. Beaucoup de horns. Vox/perc/upbeat & driving. 10. Spacey fast-fast jam. Did I mention it’s fast? CD2: 1. Another super-fast track, gets midtempo & kinda jazzy. 2. Fast, furious, fun w/ crazy energy. 3. Anti-war hip-hop/ska/funk blend. Yeah, fast again. *4. Starts slowly, then into an almost Balkan-fast sound. 5. Trippy electronica into hip-hop then a Latin dance. 6. Fast horn/perc/vox jam w/audience. Can go right into 7. *7. Absurdly fast, fun polka. Like 3 Mustaphas 3. *8. Midtempo, slow, fast w/a serious percussion jam. Yow! *9. Another fun track. Brassy, folksy, fast. | ||
