4.0 out of 5 stars Samba Goes Clubbing, May 26, 2000

By	Enrique Torres "Rico" (San Diegotitlan, Califas) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The New Latinaires, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

This is good club music with a Latin flair. Electronica meets third world culture. This is the music I would imagine might be playing in a Rio club late at night. Most of the mixes have a nice groove and each song varies in length from 6 minutes to 12 minutes. The CD features various stylings that include exotic female vocals, jazzy sax and flute, rain forestesque sounds, breakbeat, dub, drum n bass, house , post-acid ,free-jazz and from dreamy to funky to frentic rhythmns. The various stylings to a Latin Beat create a nice blend of music that makes you want to shake your booty. The concept is interesting and is driven but at moments sounds contrived and uninspired. The overall effect is good although I do believe too many stylings are employed. The strength of this CD are the haunting female vocals blended with the Brazilian flavors and the Latin jazz tones of the horn sections. This CD will put Rio in your own neighborhood. This is late night music that will have you questioning whether you should chill just yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ideal introduction to latin-inspired nu-jazz & jazzy-house, February 4, 2000

By	Stavros Zanos (Thessaloniki, Greece) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The New Latinaires, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

Ubiquity has long been considered a pioneer in quality afro/cuban-jazz fusion; those awesome guys in SF now sumarize some of the best moments of dancefloor-friendly underground latin diaspora into two monumental compilations (latinaires vol 1, 2). If you are an open-minded house/nu-jazz listener, go buy these two albums, then look for similar releases by Compost, Nuphonic, Talkin' Loud etc
