El Kilo

Orishas: El Kilo (Universal Music Latino)
Reviewed by: Beezher 09-05-2005

CubanSalsa, HipHop, and pop with some slow expressive
songs with all lyrics in Spanish. Orishas deliver
their album, which is a rollercoaster that takes you
up and down through moods and sounds with some fun and
danceable tracks and some slow and chillones-the
danceable tracks (pics) are the funnest of course.
That Caribbean flavor is definitely present in their
instumentation, including fun and light guitars, deep
ass bass, fun percussion like handdrums and shakere.
The horns and piano add that Cuban Island hotness that
keeps hips shaking. The creative vocal interplay of
high chill singing and multiple voices both rapping
and singing, makes for a treat that keeps you
interested – if you speak Spanish that is. You can
play the whole album through because it flows very
well. Enjoy. FCC Clean.
