Yasser Tejeda & Palotre’: Kijombo

Relentless and exciting music from the Dominican Republic and beyond is delivered by singer/guitarist Yasser Tejeda and his team of Jonathan Troncoso/perc, Victor Otoniel/dr, Kyle Miles/b and a collection of guests on this thrilling mix of originals and traditional pieces. Extra percussion provded by Otoniel Nicolas creates an infectious dance on the intense “Pap Boco” and the pretty “Del Otro Lado, and along with El Prodiio’s accordion on the festive “Swing Ripiao.” Bold horns form an Afro Cuban groove on “Nuestras Raices” and hints of Santana guitar builds up a sweat on”La Culebra” while an African lilt celebrates during “De  Palo Echao.” You won’t sit still on this one!
