Self-described as Latin with lots of words, Spanish Harlem Orchestra comes out swinging on perhaps his best album to date. Since Spanish Harlem Orchestra last CD (Across 110th Street) on Capitol Records back in 2004, I have felt a massive void in my life. Lead single “Un Gran Dia En El Barrio” and “Cuando Te Vea” start with near-whispers before kicking into giddily catchy, fuzz box-driven hollered hooks. Across 110th Street is preety good and all the songs have a good meaning behind them.
Some of the arrangements found on Across 110th Street are surprisingly edgy. First time I heard Tun Tun Suena El Tambo was on radio driving in my car and sonically it just sounded amazing.Strong percussion and poignant lyrics of this track really gets under your skin. Get Across 110th Street and turn on Escucha El Ritmo if you are going to sip your wine late at night. This song is like perfectly aged vintage bordeaux wine not a tequila shot. In Te Cantare Spanish Harlem Orchestra is at his best. Spanish Harlem Orchestra sings Como Lo Canto Yo in such a comforting, confident voice that you can’t help but be moved. maestro De Rumberos presents the exquisite mix of instruments on Across 110th Street. La Hija De Lola is one of those songs that will put you in a good mood. Awesome song is really all that you can say about it. Esperame En El Cielo is an underrated song: I like its lyrics and melody a lot. Tu Te Lo Pee Pee (Bonus Track) is sonically very melodic with nice haunting verses.
