5.0 out of 5 stars Catch this group live!, July 14, 2001

This review is from: On Time (Audio CD)

Was hired to fill in for a missing member of the Ilegales horn section at the All Star Gala in Seattle this week, and became an instant fan of the group. I was previously totally unaware of Ilegales, and (in general) the evolution of merengue and the blending of Dominican Republic rhythms with hip hop/soka/funk. The band leader gave me a work CD to learn the tunes (had about an hour to do it - tough stuff!), and I can't stop listening to it, especially track 5, "Una Nena", which is a classic, burnin' funk tune. Although heavily (but thoughtfully) produced and sequenced, the band manages to produce a powerful (and seemingly spontaneous) live groove, which also comes through on the CD. Catch 'em, if you can, and you'll see what I mean. You, too, will be sweatin' in no time!
