    I was able to catch their live show in a small bar at conference a few
    months back. Very funky and full of soul. Stunning flute player.

    I was absolutely amazed and in love all at once.

    Subject: [acid-jazz] Mongo & Latin Records

    Steph ... u recently asked about Mongo Santamaria's Sofritos album. I
    never got it so cant recommend it one way or the other.
    However:
    I just came across this very informative (though far from comprehensive)

    website;

    http://www.wildsscene.com/music/index.html

    take it with a pinch of salt as the editorial seems fickle and favors
    more
    exotic sound. Nevertheless, a good read .

    On the subject of bangin latin beats, I've been digging my recent finds
    of
    records featuring and or produced by Larry Harlow. He's got a really raw

    and energetic sound, classic nuyorican vibes.
    specifically i've acquired these albums:
    Harlow's Harem
    Easy Tempo 2
    and Andy Harlow "que suena la flauta"
    By the By he's a jewish dude from NYC who got into latin music,
    nicknamed
    El Judeo Maravilloso ... me, i'm following his footsteps ;-]

    Also just picked up Willie Colon 'El Juicio' which has a song on it
    "Timbalero" that bangs.

    If you havent yet checked it, i HIGHLY recommend the "ATiTeToca"
    compilation from Spain which came out recently. 100% pure latin BOMBs,
    some really really dope tracks.

    Also, Spanish Harlem Orchestra's 'Un Gran Dia en el Barrio' .

    For some electronic beats with sabor latino, I'm feeling the work of the

    Spam All Stars from Miami . fat stuff.

    paz, y glandules
    that is,
    peace & peas
