Nico Gomez And His Afro Percussion Inc. - Ritual

Funk heads attention!!!
This is one of the most tightest arranged Latin-funk record i have heard. It is not the average high-school bands that got together, jammed & released a couple of 45s. No, this is so well produced, written and arranged that it is a must to play and listen to. The band is soooo professionaly tight, not a single wrong note played, and the complete result means that it aint a single friggin dud on this LP. Even Samba De Una Nota So & El Condor Pasa are lovely pices of downtempo soul, the latter maybe the finest downtempo cut i have ever heard in the late times. Hard to pick a favourite track but Ritual is high up of all these and Its da bomb for the floor. Ritual was heavily sampled by Liquid People for their track The Dragon, shamelessly not credited on that 12".
Oh btw.. This Omega International copy is very rare and expensive. Fetch those Lupita copies while that 500 press stock lasts. Highly recommendable Spanish Afro-Latin-Funk-Boogaloo LP!
