LA SURCURSAL S.A. , salsa brava uit Barcelona, Spanje. CD in cardboard sleeve
Lekker, ouderwets klinkende salsa in eigen beheer uitgebracht in navolging van bands als LA-33, Excelencia, Calambuco, en stadsgenoten Bloque 53, Tromboranga en Sonora Libre. Uit Europa`s muzikale hoofdstad Barcelona, waar naast de multi-culturele crossover muziek (musica mestizo) ook steen- goede salsa vandaan blijkt te komen.
Salsa gem from Spain hits all the right marks. Terrific singing by Marcelo Rosero who is a bit reminiscent of Ruben Blades in his timber and range. The band has a full, round sound, flush with trombones, trumpets, and tres: an old-school salsa feel that transcends both time and place Check "Lo Nuestro" a get-up-and-dance guarantee. Check out also "Descarga Sucursal" a salsa jam that has roots in Fania, Peruchin and even a bit of Johnny Colón.
