O’s Notes: Latin music is typically packed with energy, especially when Arturo Sandoval is on the scene. He wrote 90% of the music, sings and plays trumpet while leading this explosive ensemble. We liked the cool combinations on “El Huracán Del Caribe”, the mysterious “Having Fun” and the powerful, layered brass of “21st Century”. Sandoval packs a strong punch and these are all fresh tracks vs. the rearranged covers that dominate many new releases these days. Get ready to rumba and enjoy including the grand finale “Nouveau Cha Cha”.
