5 out of 5 stars chevere.......1999-07-14

obviously the guy from Bremerton is pretty clueless about Latin music. 'Unsophisticated'?...then you play it! 'Fast'?...of course, it's supposed to be. 'Mechanical?'...try 'Subtle'. 'Early teens?'...actually it's danced by everyone in the carribean ages 2 and up.

As a 'white guy' I know how Merengue, Salsa, Bachata and the like can sound 'all the same' to the untrained ear. But if you listen to the words and pay attention to the rythums it's really quite enjoyable.

In short, if you want to hear European-Americans immitating Latino music, don't buy this album because you'll be dissapointed...this is the real thing.

2 out of 5 stars UNSOPHISTICATED LATINO: FAST, MECHANICAL, EARLY TEENS.......1998-06-25

What is this? I didn't sample the tracks that [Amazon.Com] supplies. Wish I could have but my "modern" computer can't handle both my scanner and sound system so I disabled the sound. I thought name recognition would be enough. I expected Patrick Williams' New York Band. Try his "10th Ave" (Soundings 1987). Really catchy tunes that you'll play over and over. I love his bass trombone...

I looked forward to listening to Patrick Williams' interpretation of Latino music. Not to happen with "this" New York Band. My take is that the composition and musicians' interpretation come no where near the sophistication of the "other" New York Band. I think early teens would like the bouncy style. Listen to one track and the others will be similar in style - loud, fast, no inflection - just different singers. Where's the "feeling"? Sounded too "mechanical" to me. I thought it amusing that this group, having used a similar name to that of the 1987 group found it necessary to list a few of its copyright restrictions - one is no unauthorized "lending". What gall! Guess they were proud of their name since (in the background) they shouted it several times in two of their numbers.
