If you are looking for a battery to plug you into an endless night of dancing, here it is. Impossible to rest with those mixes of bandas cumbias and ska's trumpets. It smells the south, it sounds like the big ferias of the Spanish world. Listen to it, and you will see the streets of Argentina filled with crowds dancing dancing dancing, and if you can still rest after this, .... you have a broken leg. Emmanuel the frenchie in Los Angeles.

It's just so dang good. It's not pure cumbia. It's not just latin drum beats. It's so far from just ska. Stop reading this and buy already.

Following their tradition for quirkiness, LAD do an evocative foray - if not straight send up - of many seventies pop styles. This is evident particularly in the raunchy "Los Piratas", which kicks butt with that hilariously cheesy brass and wacka tacka funk lines! Other styles that are visited include vallenato, old romantic stuff the likes of what Julio Iglesias would do back in those days, and good ol' ska. Party down track would have to be the exhilarating "Como Me voy a Olvidar", however. The perfect gift for anyone who like their music carefree, a little bit naughty, and funkadelic!
