Chambao - El Viejo San Juan

Chambao earned a place in my heart back when I was writing for an ancient invention called paper. Their music has never strayed far from my party table, and this new release is no exception. There seems to be more slow songs this time out, however that’s not a bad thing because they do intriguing things to create mood of other-worldly while maintaining a firm footing in rhythms of moorish spain. Shoutouts for Duende del Sur and Respira, which join old favorites like Rosa Maria, Pokito A Poko & Los Muchachos De Mi Barrio on my dance party table. Chambao
