5 out of 5 stars SALSOUL GOES BANNANAS!.......2007-02-18

Much like Essential Boogie Flavas, Latin funk flavas is yet another daring attempt to show a different side to Salsoul's massive catalog.
Once again, Suss'd Records come up aces with another strong set of garage raw and intricately composed dance music from the 70's.

This time around, Suss'd has traveled south of the border to uncover some latin and carribean styled grooves that's extremely rare and hard to find. Call me crazy if you will, but having these treasures in your collection is like Scarface havin' a fresh batch of Colombia smack striaght off the boat! These tracks will elevate your body and mind and have you OD'ed by the time the a CD stops!

Things don't kick off with much of a bang. "Samba" is a ok mid tempo instrumental that doesn't do much to raise the temperature. But the heat picks up considerably on "The Bottle"( the usual suspect on a lot of Salsoul compliamations),continues through "Rio De Janiero", and never lets up through the rest of this tropical journey. The album reaches its apex with "Samba Funk". This minimalist salsa smoker is nothing short of hypnotic - thanks to the interplay between the jazzy keyboards and the agressively stuttering backbeat. You also get to hear a couple of predisco tracks with "Aftershower Funk" and "Latin Strut" and hear how the deep basslines and heavy precussive sound of these babies predated the underground disco era by a couple of years.

Even though the album does get repetitive near the end with the three long jungle styled "Anikana-O", "El Caravanero", and "Kongas Fun", they are highly engaging tracks that'll keep the party going at any salsa party.

Overall, I would say that this is a notch more consistent than "Essential Boogie Flavas". The momentum never sags even when they slightly cool things down with "Baila Simon". If you don't believe me when I tell you this album is red hot, believe me when I say that this album is spicy and heavy enough to put a Cuban dish on a Jenny Craig weight loss program!

So cop this album, invite some hot Senioritas over, and get "laced" like a batch of Cuban Cigars.

Oh well, until next time, party hard and keep the funk alive Amigos!
