FA-5 - FA-5

€29,95
A fusion of latin rock, funk, soul and disco. Cuba was poppin’
Currently good stock Limited stock Currently unavailable

FA-5's self-titled album from 1976 is a perfect example of the energy and vitality emanating from the country's musicians and marks the next release in Mr Bongo's Cuban Classics series. A unique musical fusion that encompasses Latin rock, funk, soul, disco and Afro- Cuban rhythms to form a diverse and alluring album.

The exquisite, funk-fuelled opener, 'Muevete Con Las Fuerzas Del Corazon', is maybe the most-known song on the album. It is a super catchy cut powered by a dynamite bassline, joy-flled horn playing and splashes of drum breaks that will ignite any dancefloor.

The record surfs through genres as it progresses. 'Di Tu Que Haras Sin Mi' and 'Paso Sin Mas' lean back with a West Latin rock / AOR favour to their grooves. Elsewhere, the dreamy, cosmic, Balearic- tinged 'El Blue' and fuzzy funk- rock breaks of 'Pero Lo Cierto Es Que No Quise Mas' further show the breadth of styles at play on the LP. Another big highlight on the album is the Latin, disco funk sounds of 'Casa De Ladrillo', which morphs into a cover version of the Commodores 'Brick House'. The result is a superb alternative take on a much loved classic.

Released on the state-owned Areito Records, the album was directed by Nestor Caballero , who arranged the songs alongside Aneiro Tano and Osvaldo Caraballoso . The prolific Tony Tano produced the album with the recording courtesy of Tony Lopez who worked with Juan Pablo Torres, Los Reyes 73, Grupo Los Yoyi, Raul Gomez and many other Cuban greats that we have featured in the Cuban Series.

A fabulous, under-the-radar classic, that will enrich any collection.
