La Excelencia
Salsa Con Conciencia
CD (Handle With Care 4309), Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
It takes just a note or two to hear that La Excelencia is different.
A local New York group that does what's left of the Latin circuit in
New Jersey and around town, and made up of younger salsa musicians,
it plays raw and hard, with none of the sweetening that gunk up pop
salsa. This is unprettified salsa dura, with the percussion cranked,
lots of breaks, the voices loud, almost distorted. It's the sound of
a tough working band, the sort that used to be everywhere in New
York and now are rare to find. It's unapologetic, and unafraid of
its tradition, and the cd's staying in my player for a long time.
The real deal doesn't show up that often, and here it is. Celebrate
it.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-10-30)
