El Callegüeso y su Mala Maña by La Mambanegra; Luyando by Mokoomba.
by La Mambanegra (Movimientos Records, MOV 012, CD, LP and digital)
There’s energy enough in La Mambanegra’s expanded salsa to power a national grid. The Colombian orchestra may take pointers from vintage Nuyorican salsa and a measure of James Brown-inspired soul funk brass, but the exhilaratingly fierce style of El Callegüeso y su Mala Maña is very much its own thing.
