Si Para Usted Vol. 2
Strictly for the poppies, this second installment of Cuban funk courtesy of Waxing Deep is a pretty thorough roundup of the best that the island had to offer in the ’70s. It’s got the heavy conga workouts (Grupo Monumental’s “Tremendo Tremendo”), the more sophisticated styles for your mature audience (Juan Pablo Torres’s “Y Aperecio el Trombon”), as well as some straight-up harder hitting funk (Los Llamas’ “Siboney”). This comp is pretty sassy and offers a particularly revealing look at what communism should have sounded like. Check out volume one as well.
