Having seen Snowboy live in Australia about 18 months ago, I must admit I
found it to be very boring. I love salsa and its 3 million variants and I
felt that Snowboy didn't do the music justice. One song melded into the
other, almost like a 'Modern Romance' medley.

I have just started working in a record store featuring a strong Latin
section and I listened to an album by India with Eddie Palmieri recorded
in the last couple of years which was absolutely brilliant. India, Lous
Vegas's partner, wails like a modern day Celia Cruz and the musical
arrangements are latin and jazzy and display Palmieri's understated piano
to great effect.
