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
