review by Bruce Polin - courtesy www.descarga.com
Whoa! If "Descarga 33" — the opening track of
Gozalo — doesn't raise the dead then nothing will. This commanding
salsa powerhouse makes it's point straight away: get up and dance
NOW! It's a DJ's last resort, the secret weapon. Now, while all of
the tracks on La 33's
second album aren't the equivalent to a salsa defibrillator like "Descarga
33," they do share its drive, swing and vision: keep the party going.
The Colombian band, led by bassist Sergio Mejia, made a big impact
with their debut
La 33 and
they clearly decided to up the ante here. Listen to Juan David
Fernandez's timbales roar on the explosive cumbia-salsa "Plinio
Guzman." And the uptempo jazzy-mambo instrumental title track "Gozalo"
shows that this band is made of real musicians who can play. But
it's the tight-fisted straight-ahead salsa tracks like "La Rumba
Buena" that define La 33 as the premium dance band that they are.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2007-09-11)
