We've had the extravagant exhibitionism of salsa, the lyrical nostalgia of the Buena Vista Social Club. Now it's time for British dance crowds to re-discover the low-down sweaty groove of the pachanga, the bugalu, the watusi, the shing-a-ling and the dance vibes of nuyorican 50's, 60's and 70's.
Alma Latina (‘Latin Soul') goes right to the source with tunes by Ray Barretto, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri and Cal Tjader and the other hard groove merchants which kept the dance floors of Spanish Harlem packed for two decades.
Alma Latina's line-up follows the model of Eddie Palmieri's classic ‘La Perfecta' formation - with trombone and flute front line, plus the authentic back-line of congas, timbales, piano and bass.
