Lego - Flava In Ya Ear Vol. 2

OK!! Stand back! I'm gonna spill the beans on this record. Yes. I’m gonna review it! This is a rare gem on the now defunct Afterhours label. All Latin house records should be measured against this record. This record is the real deal, folks. We’ll start off with “When I’m With You”. This is my favorite track on the whole record. I have yet to hear anyone play a Latin jazz style trumpet like Ron Haynes did in the Trumpet Mix. Then it has all the other neat percussion & keys by Lego himself in there. Oh man!! This track has so much soul put into it! I can play this track over & over & never get tired of it. I almost shed a tear every time I hear it. (T_T ) The Piano Mix is kinda similar, but with a piano instead. Duh. It’s not as good as the first one, but still, it’s really nice. With a piano solo by Jose Valdez, this track will keep the Latin vibe flowing. Flip the record over & we have “El Ritmo de Verdad”. Just about every single house DJ that I can think of has rocked this track. The Extended version is the one to play. "Sé que tu quieres entonces moverte, por eso ahora, el ritmo de verdad.” That’s the vocal simple that’s repeated over & over by Javante Monet. Then there’s the percussion, trumpet, & keyboard sample rocking throughout the record. It’s basically a house anthem. So yeah. If you’re lucky enough to see a copy of this record lying around in a record store or on eBay, pick it up immediately!!! (^_^ )
