hard-hitting latin-tinged super-group grupo magnético formed from backgrounds in funk, hip-hop, punk and soul, united by a love of eddie palmieri, tito puente, ray barretto, fania and classic new york salsa. working with legendary musicians from cuba, venezuela and america (who had played and recorded with many of the names who d originally inspired the group), the circle was complete as the album was mixed in new york by grammy winning latin producer aaron levinson.

a native of the caribbean coast of colombia, abelardo carbono achieved legendary status in his country’s storied ranks of musical icons by combining the homegrown sounds of cumbia with the chiming guitars of west african soukous, enormously popular with the local tropical sound systems, and drenching the whole thing in his off-kilter, surreal and slightly psychedelic sensibility.
with the exception of a well-received compilation of songs from his 1980s heyday, carbono has been rarely heard from outside the sweaty dancehalls he still commands in his hometown of barranquilla. now, names you can trust has welcomed the reclusive guitarist and singer back to the vinyl format with a simmering afro-carib beast of a cut, recorded with the assistance of will -quantic- holland on rhythm guitar and mario galeano frente cumbiero, ondatropica on keys and in conjunction with lucas silva of palenque records & polen records. it’s a true cross-generational and international collaboration that is uniquely possible via colombia. the first release of this expansive & power packed studio session is a cover of vallenato pioneer guillermo buitrago’s la piña madura. this updated take veers heavily towards africa on a rock solid foundation of bass and drums, with abelardo’s trademark guitar and quirky vocals leading the way.

claudio casalini s best record label does a fine job of reissuing funk, disco and other curios from the mists of time, and so it goes with this wonderful slice of loose and live soul jazz. grupo almendra hailed from venezuela, and they released their sole album almendra in 1978 in a whirlwind of latin american musicality and it had been consigned to relative obscurity. whichever digger was lucky enough to discover this gem must have been very pleased indeed, for the quality of the music and the production is nothing short of remarkable, while the remastering has respectfully revived the sweet, soulful sound of grupo almendra.

celebrating grupo x s acclaimed output from the last 15 years, the album brings together a mix of hip-swaying, foot stomping, sun-kissed latin and soul, with soaring vocals, driving percussion, heavy horns, tight arrangements and virtuoso performances all round. remastered dance floor fillers, such as brand new love, x-perience and reach, combine with chilled, head-nodding grooves, including jonny s bugalu, get through to you and won t you stay. also included are two brand new tracks featuring lisa millett - the latin r&b stomper share it out plus the soulful, salsa-tinged waiting. additional lead vocals are provided by the outstanding talents of jazz singer julie dexter and venezuelan salsa star carlos pe–a. released just in time for the summer months, this is destined to be the soundtrack to a thousand bbqs and garden parties.
