LATIN CD PICK OF THE WEEK - LOS SONEROS DEL BARRIO


I realized it has been quite a while since I last posted a Latin CD Pick of the Week. So with that being said this weeks pick is from the great group from Ecuador, Los Soneros Del Barrio with their cd titled Siguiendo La Tradicion.
I first heard about this group a while back when I used to subscribe to the magazine The Beat. What was (and is) great about this magazine is that it would feature music reviews of all types of world music (Reggae, Latin, African, Middle Eastern, etc.) The Beat is a great source of information for world music and a way to get hip to some artists you may not have been aware of. This is one swingin' salsa cd that you are sure to like! I especially like the use of the baritone sax in the horn section as well as Frankie Vazquez on vocals.
Here is Los Soneros Del Barrio performing live with one of the hits from this cd titled Ahi Na' Ma. Check it out and get hip!
