The First 2018 Case of the Uptown Latin Lounge
I am back!!!
After a fabulous 2 week vacation in South America, I return with a fat new stack of tasty Brazilian vinyl (spoiler alert: teaser).
But that vinyl still needs to be processed... I haven't even cleaned 'em yet. So today we will hear my first case this year of uptown latin, this time with a decidedly lounge-tastic groove.
I open today's set with a selection of old-timey sounds from Cuba: some bolero, some piano descarga, and just a taste of pachanga and danzon. The second hour today really targets the latin lounge groove, featuring in particular a tasty group of tracks from La Playa Sextet, as well as material from the more obscure of the two World Circuit LPs led by Cuban vocalist Ibrahim Ferrer (of Buena Vista Social Club fame).
Relax and groove today with a fabulous latin lounge set, and prepare yourselves for a big Brazilian wave in the coming weeks!
