Nu Yorica!




Soul Jazz Records London released an album ten or so years ago called Nu Yorica! that still percolates like a Cuban street festival and a Seventies movie soundtrack (in a good way) on a perfect summer night. Pick it up or order it if you can find it. It's funky goodness that doesn't let up. Mostly synth and vibe grooves with sax and an incredible conga section. Every so often an electric guitar or two take things in an entirely different direction with some light, nearly psychedelic flavors. Along with Sao Paulo Underground, these are some of my favorite grooves lately.
