Carnaval Yomo Toro & Zon del Barrio Asalto Navideño

Cortijo's Carnaval from the Time Machine recording hasn't been done re-recorded or covered in more than 35 years. In this freestyle, avante guard plena of 1973 Cortijo mixed a fusion of rock with Puerto Rican folkloric chants. Zon del Barrio continues the tradition alongside Yomo Toro. Experimenting with tones on the cuatro with complimentary riffs and vamps on the keyboards, there are creative expressions that hint at influences of Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock and Ornete Coleman all rolled into a plena form. Re-arranged for 3 'bones by our bassist Ruben Lopez. ¡WEPA!
