Released on Cuba's state-owned \u003cstrong\u003eAreito imprint\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAlgo Nuevo\u003c\/i\u003e showcases trombonist, bandleader, arranger and producer Juan Pablo Torres' unique scope of sound. A melting pot of an album that weaves together \u003cstrong\u003ejazz-funk\u003c\/strong\u003e and traditional \u003cstrong\u003eAfro-Cuban genres\u003c\/strong\u003e with \u003cstrong\u003etripped-out synth touches\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003edancefloor grooves.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opener 'Pan Caliente' is a \u003cstrong\u003efiery celebration\u003c\/strong\u003e, combining a driving groove with Latin percussion, feverish horns and infectious 'la-la-la' vocals. The wild, squelching cosmic synthlines give an otherworldly touch to proceedings that sit nicely on a \u003cstrong\u003emodern dancefloor\u003c\/strong\u003e. 'Guajira 2001' is perhaps Juan's future-focussed take on the vibrant style of Cuban dance-led music called \u003cstrong\u003eguajira\u003c\/strong\u003e. Blistering bongos, congas and claves moving together with trumpets, trombones and twanging acoustic guitars that you can't help but bounce to.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOther highlights include, 'Cacao', a \u003cstrong\u003eCuban cosmic funk strutter\u003c\/strong\u003e that places the claves upfront, with a scatting vocal line and percussive climax reminiscent of \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Kranz\u003c\/strong\u003e electronic disco anthem 'Din Daa Daa' from 1983. Elsewhere, '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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA varied album encompassing a \u003cstrong\u003evariety of Afro-Cuban genres \u003c\/strong\u003eand rhythms entwined with flashes of mind-bending \u003cstrong\u003ecosmic influence\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003ci\u003eAlgo Nuevo\u003c\/i\u003e 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":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56024215159169,"sku":"2317774","price":45.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/7119691295718.jpg?v=1785642940","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2317774","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
