This Los Angeles sixpiece dishes a diasporic debut, fusing bits of funk and jazz with punta, cumbia, merengue, bachata, and everything in between. While Todo Mundo is certainly a dance-floor filler, "Baté" begins as a snail-paced spiritual jazz journey accompanied by a chant as if to summon the ancestors. "Pegao" poaches a bit of Mulatu Astatke's Ethio-jazz, while the accordion-driven "Verde Monte" travels to the campo. "Vamos a Gozar" serves as song title, chorus, and mission statement.
