Here’s a group that knows how to party! Sassy vocalists Mariella Gonzalez and Paloma Munoz belt out the goods along with an extroverted team of Matt Thomas/ts, Rafael/b-g, Kenny Bruno/p-key, Dylan Blanchard/cong, Ronnie Roc/bong, Reddy Acosta/timbales, Vera Kemper/tb-b Jonathan Goldman/tp and a rotating team of guests. The ladies can come off like cheerleaders as they go back and forth on “Bugalu Pa Mi Abuela” while delivering with a twinkle in the eye the street fest atmosphere on the B3 hummer “Mister Dizzy Izzy.” The saxes work up a sweat with the ladies on a vintage R&B “Boogaloo Shoes” and the aladie plead with sensuality on “Ojala-Inshallah.” Joe Bataan’s guest vocals harken to vintage Oscar Brown on a soulful saunter on “New York Rules” while 50s drama and Link Wray guitar riffs create a steamy “How Do You Know.” This band must be something else on New Years Eve! WHEW!Spanglish Fly: Ay Que Boogaloo!
