La Sonora Carruseles

This short release collects the boogaloo recordings of long-running Colombian salsa act Sonora Carruseles. It speaks incredibly well of the band that they could take a flash-in-the-pan style like boogaloo and tease out some instrumental complexity while retaining its playful immediacy. "Micaela" is the obvious classic, but songs like "El Baile De Boogaloo" and "Boogaloo Pa' Gozar" teem with rock guitar flourishes, vibraphone and other surprises. "Twist Boogaloo" doesn't work as well as the others.
