Europe's number one Afro Cuban Jazz group 'Snowboy And The Latin
Section' release their 15th album, entitled 'Communication'.
Although continuing to perform many concerts and festivals around the
world - from Australia to Japan, from Ireland to Greece - Snowboy (along
with thousands of other musicians) became very disillusioned with the
severe state of the music industry and took a break from recording.
After four years and with renewed optimism the UK's top Conga player
(Conguero) and his all-star band have delivered an absolutely joyous and
exciting album with power-house world-class performances. They consider
it their best recording in Snowboy's 23 year recording career.
Along with the other seven strong original compositions here, the
highlight of the album is an original composition by the acknowledged
'King Of Latin Music' - Eddie Palmieri. Mr. Palmieri doesn't write for
anyone else but after becoming introduced at Yale University six years
ago by Professor Robert Farris Thompson - one of the world's leading
authorities of Afro-related Music, History and Art - they have become
firm friends, and Eddie wrote a Mambo in Snowboys honour called
'Snowboy's Special'!
Along with that very exciting song, this Afro Cuban Jazz album covers
the Cuban styles of Mambo, Salsa, Palo, Descarga and Mozambique, making
this the bands most versatile album to date.
