5.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric album from a golden era, June 25, 2002

Truly magical stuff this first (I think) album by this little-known but magnificent Latin Rock band. This album was released in 1972, a golden year for music in general and Malo in particular. There's a natural inclination, which should probably be resisted, to compare and contrast them with Santana. The similarity is that they are both Latin Rock and their guitarists are brothers, but Malo very much plough their own furrow. Having said can I be a bit controversial please? "Suavecito" does sound a bit like "Sitting in the Park" by Georgie Fame, a British singer from the 1960s. Its the none the worse for it; probably just a case of great minds thinking alike. But my favourite track from "Malo One" is "Cafe" - by a considerable margin. Music doesn't get much better than this track. Sure, it's available on the excellent and highly recommended "Best Of", but only in an edited version (from 7 minutes down to 3 minutes). So splash out your Dollars or Pounds or Yen wherever you are and buy both.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Malo" - Still Bad As They Want To Be, August 31, 2005

By 

Quasi (Bronx, New York) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Malo (Audio CD)

A classic CD from the early 70's, this group has a sound from
yesterday which is still hot and pumping today. Their classic
and signature song "Suavecito" delivers a typical summertime
groove which lets you sit back and reminisce about days gone by.
The hard rocking and salsa swinging tune "Cafe" is off-the-hook.
This is a CD that everyone both young and old can enjoy and
appreciate.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Have Album, September 3, 2004

By 

70s Guy (SF, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Malo (Audio CD)

This band rocks. I am fortunate that local bands such as Malo and Santana still play regularly in the Bay Area. Nena, Cafe, and Suavecito alone makes this album a must have. The music is timeless and even my kids love to hear it. This album is not one to pass up. Tony Sandoval from KISS FM played Nena recently and got flooded with callers wanting to know the song and the band. It's Malo folks. Go out and get it.
