Description
Presenting a unique blend of orchestral disco and jazz-funk , with Afro-Cuban
favours and soundtrack infuences , it’s rich with drum breaks, energy and
evolving compositions. A record that forever keeps you guessing, powered by an
exemplary orchestra at the top of their game.
Cuban composer and singer Raul Gomez is most known for featuring in the
groups Mirtha Y Raul and Los Bucaneros alongside producing the Cuban classic
Los Reyes 73 album, amongst a whole host of other incredible productions over
the years. Released on Cuba’s state-owned label Areito, Instrumental sees Gomez
not only as an instrumentalist and author, but also as a producer and arranger.
It’s an album that deftly evades pigeonholing. Floating between instrumental
mood music and library/soundtrack mastery, followed by explosions of cosmicLatin funk, psych guitar workouts and compositions that refect the orchestrated
disco coming out of the US at the time, from greats such as Love Unlimited or
MFSB. Lace that together with a healthy serving of Afro-Cuban magic to underpin
the tracks and it’s a recipe for a record that captivates from start to fnish.
