What is it about a good solid Latin groove that makes a person want to swing his hips like a cinnamon-skinned chica at a disco? Even if there isn’t something deep in the genetic code of every human being to command them to respond to these rhythms, (and by God there is), in the wake of The Buena Vista Social Club we in Norte America are terribly susceptible to the best, sweetest, turningest clave, piano, and drum patterns that are the roots of the tunes on this disc. Maybe this is just elevator music to one who lives with the real thing. I don’t care. It soars along and has the influence to make you feel good.
