Ritmo Y Sabor
Proudly presenting our reissue of the sought-after 1978 album 'Ritmo YĀ Sabor' from Cuban, master bongo player, Manteca.
A deep, hypnotic, sonic excursion of Afro-Cuban/mambo rhythms to get lost within.Ā Released in 1978, there are a number of different pressings of the album coming outĀ on labels including GRC, Desca Records and Sound Triangle Records. Stripped-backĀ and low-f, this is a pulsating hit of instrumental Latin-jazz dance magic.
Predominantly made up of just percussion and bass, the album comes courtesy ofĀ Carlos "Rico" Ramirez on bass, Carlos Patato on congas, timbales by Nelson PadronĀ and Lazaro Pla aka Manteca as band leader. A Cuban legend, Manteca rose to fameĀ playing with Ernesto Lecuona and the Cuban Boys. Although he featured on numerousĀ recordings in his home of Cuba, only a handful exist of his as featured soloist or bandĀ leader.
A whirlwind of percussive brilliance, 'Ritmo Y Sabor' is brimming with energyĀ regardless of the tempo of the track. An instantaneous ability to make you move, theĀ grooves come alive with each new rhythm introduced. Take for instance, the trackĀ 'Afro Funky' that more than lives up to its name. A breakbeat Latin-funk workout, with a mighty fne walking bass line that provides the basis for the drummers to vibe off.
Elsewhere, 'Rumbon En Casa De Cando' is fast and furious perfect for the jazz danceĀ specialist, whilst 'Sabor A Mantecado' keeps you on your toes with its trance- likeĀ repetitive bassline and percussive interplay. 'Cosa De Manteca' is another heavy LatinĀ funk gem with a rough and raw feeling of relentless yet groove-drivenĀ percussion.
A must-have Afro-Cuban, rhythmic funk triumph, that shows Manteca and his band inĀ full fight.
