{"product_id":"juan-pablo-torres-algo-nuevo","title":"Juan Pablo Torres - Algo Nuevo","description":"\u003cp\u003eNext up in the Mr Bongo Cuban Classics series is an outing by the mighty Juan Pablo Torres from 1978. Released on Cuba's state-owned Areito imprint, Algo Nuevo showcases trombonist, bandleader, arranger and producer Juan Pablo Torres' unique scope of sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA melting pot of an album that weaves together jazz-funk and traditional Afro-Cuban genres with tripped-out synth touches and dancefloor grooves. The opener 'Pan Caliente' is a fiery celebration, combining a driving groove with Latin percussion, feverish horns and infectious \"la-la-la\" vocals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wild, squelching cosmic synthlines give an otherworldly touch to proceedings that sit nicely on a modern dancefloor. 'Guajira 2001' is perhaps Juan's future-focussed take on the vibrant style of Cuban dance-led music called guajira. Blistering bongos, congas and claves moving together with trumpets, trombones and twanging acoustic guitars that you can't help but bounce to. Other highlights include, 'Cacao', a Cuban cosmic funk strutter that places the claves upfront, with a scatting vocal line and percussive climax reminiscent of George Kranz electronic disco anthem 'Din Daa Daa' from 1983.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere, 'Elvira' further showcases the psychedelic essence of many of the album's tracks. A deep Latin workout where tasty percussive breaks and scorching keys blend with trippy vocals and rumbling synths. A varied album encompassing a variety of Afro-Cuban genres and rhythms entwined with flashes of mind-bending cosmic influence. Algo Nuevo is a further jewel in Cuba's musical crown of riches, with plenty of dancefloor treats and downtempo numbers held within.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vinyl.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49973797290226,"sku":"7119691295718","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/4331833-3147932.jpg?v=1787610763","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/juan-pablo-torres-algo-nuevo","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
