This review is from: Rabanes (Audio CD)

To call them a Latin Rock band (quoting Rolling Stone magazine) doesn't do them half the musical justice they deserve. In an age where it's not unlikely to see extreme blends of styles, Panama-based Los Rabanes is a trio that blends in an exquisite and extremely contagious way the sounds of Punk, Power Rock, Calypso, Reggae, Ska, Hip Hop, Merengue, House and Salsa, bringing back to mind the legendary Argentinian band, Fabulosos Cadillacs with Spanglish lyrics.

In this self-titled release recorded in Miami, with Roberto Blades (Ruben's yoonger brother) and Emilio Estefan Jr. in the producer's seats, Los Rabanes create a unique stadium-like party environment that will get anyone with half an ear to listen and a leg to move, jumping into the dance floor in a few beats! It's virtually impossible to come up with a fave song. The entire album is highly danceable and a "rumba" from end to end!
