Eastside’s Album for March 2011

Moorish – Mucho Mambo

Moorish is Mucho Mambo’s 2nd album of original tunes blending bold, brassy riffs and driving percussion with big brass arrangements and cool old style Latin grooves.

The album builds on the classic rhythms of Mambo, Cha Cha Cha, Son, Pachanga and Salsa reinventing them with a funky edge and a distinctive new sound.

Moorish takes big band arrangements and brings them to the 21st century, mixing in elements of funk and jazz to create a unique edge and moves the Latin music style forward with a new distinctive sound.

Mucho Mambo is: Martin ‘El Martillo’Taylor – Director, Vocals, percussion, Jess Ciampa – Timbales, Vocals, Fabian Hevia – Congas, Vocals, Nick Southcott – Piano, Cesar Marin – Bass, Vocals, Angus Gomm – Trumpet, Tom McElvogue – Trumpet, Antony Gullick – Trumpet, Matt Ottignon – Saxophone, Karl Laskowski – Saxophone, Steve Fitzmaurice – Saxophone, Jeremy Borthwick – Trombone, Mike Raper – Trombone, Vincenza Taylor – Guiro, Wilson Orozco – Vocals.

“A great new album from this exciting 15 piece band has an energetic vibe with a huge brass sound, amazing jazzy arrangements and the full spectrum of Latin rhythms with some inventive interludes.” Superb !
