Including bassist Brad Jones (Jazz Passangers), percussionist EJ Rodriguez (Miami Sound Machine), John Medeski (Medeski, Martin \u0026amp; Wood) and drummer Robert Rodriguez (Miami Sound Machine)along with new members Anthony Coleman, Elliot Sharp, Gary Lucas, Steve Nieve and Eszter Balint. A very entertaining line-up and release, indeed! \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e AMAZON \u003cbr\u003e This looks at first like a second instalment of the delinquent readings of the Cuban style of the 1940s and 1950s which made Ribot's 1998 album Marc Ribot Y Los Cubanos Postizos such a success. Certainly the same period inspirations drive the new set but Ribot seems to have moved in a more populist direction with greater emphasis on vocals and less on instrumental settings for his incendiary guitar playing. \"Dame Un Cachito Pa'Huele\", for example, develops into a gawky parade of heavy drum backbeats, crunching rock guitar and shouting vocal choruses. There are nevertheless some ear-catching episodes, including \"El Gaucho Rojo\", a samba vehicle for octave-voiced guitar which suggests Carlos Santana playing George Benson, and \"Se Formó El Bochinche\", which is fired by a solid groove and powerful vocals from E.J. Rodriguez. The group's debut remains a tough act to follow, but the two records make a complementary pair. --Mark Gilbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55325452239222,"sku":"0075678329326","price":24.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_559545_1761281_20250301080553.jpg?v=1740860700","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/0075678329326-muy-divertido-mod","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
