O’s Notes: Guitarist Daniel Santiago leads a highly energetic quintet through a dozen of his compositions. His team is Josué Lopez (sax), Vitor Gonalves (p), Gito Wirtti (b) and either Edu Ribeiro or Marcio Bahia on drums. We felt their pulse immediately on the opener “Old City”. The vibe is a cool, Latin, fusion that is easy to embrace especially on “Letter To The World” and “Angola’s Dance”. There is a lot to enjoy here as Santiago makes a strong statement with an album that will appeal to contemporary, fusion and Latin audiences.
