5.0 out of 5 stars Pura Rumba!, March 17, 2000

This review is from: Rumbagitation (Audio CD)

I am working as a salsa DJ, and I can say that RUMBAGITATION is one of the best Latin music albums ever produced. Not only for listening but especially for dancing, which is the essence of Afro-Cuban music... I played several songs at a recent dance event, and people just got crazy! Fatal Mambo perfectly dominates the crossover of an indefinite number of styles, their cumbia-reggae-salsa blends being outstanding. And the French... Well, English Salsa always sounds a bit strange to me, but French seems almost as perfect as Spanish in this case. Try also the 1997 release FATAL MAMBO, its different, more experimental, more jazzy, but great as well! Hope there will be more in the future...

5.0 out of 5 stars High energy, well-produced, great vocals, August 23, 1998

First half is Latin/timbale/salsa music sung in French. Very good. I love the piece that mixes Latin timbale with Flamenco guitar. Some good hip-hop too. Mi Hombre is beautiful, sung in Spanish. Final song is kooky but inventive.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Album, December 18, 2007

I purchased this album after hearing something by the artist, and I decided to check out the album on here, and I had a listen to the previews, and thought that I would buy

If you like your latin music, then this is essential for your collection. A fantastic blend of the traditional salsa style first truely defined by Hector Lavoe, mixed with wonderful French touches, on a canvas that expresses many musical styles. A dash of hip-hop here, some Santana sounding guitar work there, turn around and there are reggae points in areas, all producing some fantastic salsa, cumbia and merengue. If your not one who has a lot of latin music, then fear not. This album is very 'light-hearted', something that will get you up and dancing, regardless of whether that is something you do regularly or not. Fun is a good word to explain the album with, and colourful is another word to say about the music. And the French vocals just add another dimension rarely heard in latin music, another reason to get this album. Brilliant
