A drummer and a drummer launch a dirty sound, we enter the 1960s. A soul and a soulful keyboard bring out the American character, but the percussions are undoubtedly. latinas. A piano prefigures salsa, but we’re not there yet. A singer launches in Spanish « This is my land », « This land is mine », lyrics directly inspired by This land is Your Land by Guthrie. We are in Nueva York and a new generation from Puerto Rico takes its place by inventing from Cuban rhythms and sounds of the moment such as soul and R B. Further, the brass becomes more soul, more jazz, we sing in spanish, in english, we live in spanglish, in both worlds to create the new. Spanglish Fly is to boogaloo what Sharon Jones is to soul old school : a dazzling and invigorating revival. The disc will not be available until September 19, but we can order it now.
