Details:
With one foot in the Son Montuno of Eastern Cuba and one foot in the fertile Jazz-Groove scene of Seattle, USA, Picoso brings you their debut studio release, âVamonos Pal Moleâ. Twelve original tunes take you through a musical landscape where the bedrock of tumbao, montuno and clave give rise to unexpected variations. From the dub and reggae flavors of âAhi Na Masâ, âMi Changuiâ and âMi Recetaâ to the spooky, trance-inducing title track âVamonos Pal Moleâ, Picoso bends Son Montuno in new directions. Salsa lovers will get their fill of Picosoâs tight rhythms and explosive horn section on âPapa Jardineroâ, âEscuchame Mamaâ and El Tumbador, while those who like things on the slower side will welcome the sexy groove of âSal A Bailarâ and the jazz stylings of âMari Mariâ and âItâs So Strangeâ. âLa Islaâ starts out as a pop anthem to the beauty of Puerto Rico and ends up as a hard-swinging guaracha a la Fania Records 1969. âNorte Pal Surâ keeps you guessing too, switching midway through the song from easy-going Son to hard-hitting, horn powered Salsa. From start to finish âVamonos Pal Moleâ fuses the rhythms of Cuba and Puerto Rico with Picosoâs unique musical personality, writing a few new lines in the continuing story of Afro-Cuban music. It is an album that will satisfy the demanding music aficionado, give the groove-junky his rhythm fix and keep the people dancing all at one time.
