Sizzling New Album From Miguelito Martinez Combines Mexican and Cuban Music
“Joropo” is a joyful burst of soaring flutes and tropical percussion. There simply isn’t a dull moment in this energetic number, the kind of relentless fun that would fill a dance floor. Martinez and his fellow musicians are obviously a blast, and their unbridled cheer leaps out at the speakers with wild abandon. “Echame a Mi la Culpa” slows the tempo slightly, offering a breezy, laid back rhythm, sweetly tuneful flute playing, and soulful singing that is nevertheless gorgeously melodic to the ears.
One of the best tracks on the record is “Te Quiero Dijiste.” On this ballad, silky bass, smooth piano, lush sax, and crooning vocals create a blissful romantic atmosphere that is completely irresistible. No language barriers will prevent anyone from sensing the appeal of this album; its hooks are universal.
