ORQUESTA AKOKAN-AMERICA (COKE BOTTLE VINYL)
$32.95
Recorded live to tape at Penrose Recorders by Gabriel
Roth, AMÉRICA! expands on the classic Mambo sounds
that the band has become known for — blending Latin
soul, boogaloo and salsa - all while staying true to their
Cuban roots. On their fourth studio record, the band
introduces an all-star line-up of new singers including
Miriam Elhajli and Carolina Oliveros (of Combo
Chimbita). Elhajli and Oliveros both tap into the raw
energy of Celia and La Lupe, but turn the lens toward
something more intimate: themes of loss, upheaval, and
the weight of the immigrant experience.
