Hope the next one will be more experimental .

I'm surprised that they're not more popular in the mainstream here in North America. But the funny thing is, that when asking people (especially latinos) around here, they all seem to know about this awesome group, the other day I was walking in downtown Edmonton, Canada with my girlfriend and I heard a car drive by playing Orishas in their system...it was crazy! I have all 3 albums, I bought the first one back in 2000 when I heard a track while shopping in of those trendy designer clothes and have been in love with their music ever since. I sorely miss Flaco Pro though (member who left the group after the first album)...he had mad skills!

Their album is SO much fun!!! 140547@blogcritics.org Fri, 15 Apr 2005 22:48:18 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/04/14/164926.php#comment-140356 I'm a big fan of Orishas. The group is actually composed of 3 artists. They have had guest vocals on some their tracks. One of them is the singer Guitarist Roldan and the others are the rappers. The new release "el kilo" is excellent I picked it up in Spain in Mid March. By the way it's also available on itunes in the states. The difference bewteen El Kilo and the other two albums is that this latest release has more instrumentation and is more melodic than the previous albums. A lo cubano, the firsst album was break-through. The follow-up emigrante is good but not great. With El Kilo, Orishas return to their prior great form. Enjoy the album. I did while I was driving from town to twon in central Spain. 140356@blogcritics.org Fri, 15 Apr 2005 14:58:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2005/04/14/164926.php#comment-140156 This band is phenomenal! Someone made me a copy of 'A lo Cubano' almost a year ago and it gets more play on my system than anything else I know. I also don't throw a party without them in the mix... if not them dominating it. The music is beautiful and powerful. I think I described to a friend last weekend as cuban gangster salsa rap. I know that is a sloppy label, but it makes sense if you hear the music. I don't have a lot of latin music, sadly. Mostly the obvious staples of Santana and Gypsy Kings. These guys are the third wave. 140156@blogcritics.org Fri, 15 Apr 2005 01:47:51 EDT
