"This album differs in style, it has more of a funky jazz beat with a twist of Latin, suggests Johnny Blas. "Kind of a throwback to the '70s sound. Indestructible Spirit also represents rebirth for Latin percussionist Blas, who leads a brand new band and even performs on saxophone.
"Oaklands Mambo opens the set up bright and tight, a nicely loping Latin instrumental groove with trombones and other horns blowing like a blast furnace, while percussion drives the rhythm section in the engine room. "Puerto Rico Rico downshifts the tempo of its Latin groove but maintains its velocity, with its cuatro (small ten-stringed guitar) solo snaking throughout like the song's nervous system. The dancing continues with "Boogaloo Blas, which is precisely that: a funky, head-bobbin' Latin boogaloo that moves in precise syncopation but under the canopy of a horn chart that seems to spread the warm and carefree sunshine of the Caribbean isles. |
