Ocho 2

Out Of Stock

Add Item to Want List
LP (Item 34176) United Artists, 1973 — Condition: New Copy

A seminal album from the NuYorican Latin generation! Ocho only get better on this second album – mixing together jazz, funk, soul, and Latin into a sound that was shared by few other groups – using vibes, electric piano, and flute in combination with older elements of Latin Jazz to forge a brave new style for the proud Latin scene of the 70s. The range of grooves is amazing – with some fast jammers, some beautiful mellow numbers, and some of the wildest jazzy changes you've ever heard on a Latin album. Great all the way through – and tracks include "Fool'ja", "What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life?", "Descarga Con Baja", "La Batanga", and "El Guayabero".  © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc.
