Europe’s number one Afro Cuban jazz group Snowboy And The Latin Section release their 15th album entitled “Communicationâ€.
Although continuing to perform many concerts and festivals around the world – from Australia to Japan, from Ireland to Greece – Snowboy (along with thousands of other musicians) became very disillusioned with the severe state of the music industry and took a break from recording. After four years and with renewed optimism the UK´s top conga player (conguero) and his all-star band have delivered an absolutely joyous and exciting album with powerhouse world-class performances.
They consider it their best recording in Snowboy´s 23 year recording career.
Along with the other seven strong original compositions here, the highlight of the album is an original composition by the acknowledged ´King Of Latin Music´ Eddie Palmieri. Mr. Palmieri doesn´t write for anyone else, but after being introduced at Yale University six years ago by professor Robert Farris Thompson – one of the world’s leading authorities on Afro-related music, history and art – they became firm friends, and Eddie wrote a mambo in Snowboy’s honour called “Snowboy’s Specialâ€!
Along with that very exciting song, this album covers the Cuban styles of mambo, salsa, palo, descarga and mozambique, making this the band’s most versatile album to date.
