la barberia del sur

La Barberia Del Sur, a quartet of gitano musicians have a more accessible sound with a bit more emphasis on the back-beat, swirling Brazilian rhythms, Spanish popular song and of course, flamenco soul, but they're no less enjoyable because of that. Great vocals, arrangements, rhythms and songs make great music in my book. Their Nuevos Medios Coleccion release also boasts the best flamenco-salsa fusion I've ever heard, the totally addictive "Rosario Dinamitera". This update actually contains four highly recommended Spanish releases. I remember only a couple of years ago the only thing Iberian to cross my desk was disposable commodity music. Under no circumstances should the reader omit the review of Javier Ruibal's "Sahara" in the review section.
