Absolutely massive nu jazz rump shaker in a Latin stylee...
Luisito Quintero is a Venezuelan percussionist, who has played with everyone in Latin music from Tito Puente to Gloria Estefan. Luisito stakes a claim to that fabulously fertile middle ground where New York’s jazz, salsa and African–American dance traditions meet.
Little Louie Vega is New York
latin music royalty, the nephew of the great Puerto Rican singer Hector Lavoe,
he has been labelled ‘the Miles Davis of dance music’.
Together they have created the modern ascendant of The Fania Allstars
golden moments. Over the last eighteen months Luisito has taken his incendiary
rhythms to the far corners of the world. This album mirrors that riotous
rhythmic journey starting in Africa & ending with the sultry beats of Latin
America via New York.
‘Our Love feat. Anane’ (Nicola Conte Remix) gives us an upfront taster of
the forthcoming remix project 'Louie Vega presents: Luisito Quintero
“Percussion Maddness Revisited'. For this first track, they have enlisted
the sublime production skills of the man from Bari to create a sublime piece of
intercontinental bossa full of sweet vocals, breathtaking jazz piano, body
controlling percussion and delightful brass. This will work any soul jazz funk
and latin loving dancefloor into a frenzy with ease. It does not get any
better than this superb future classic!
