Highlights of the show:

'Latin Soul' is open to new ways to explore Latin jazz and soul music. The highlight of tonight's show is an interesting electronica album that may bring new paths to understand the undergoing path of Latin jazz and the remixes era.

Here you may find the compilation 'The New Latinaires Vol. 1" released in 1999 by the cutting edge label Ubiquity. The following review has been obtained from the British version of Amazon.com.



This is the first volume in a new series of Afro-Cuban/electronica fusion perpetrated by the fine folks at San Francisco's Ubiquity label. Why shouldn't the melting pot that is the U.S. produce music just as pan-ethnic and cross-fertilized? Jungle and drum-and-bass managed to absorb all manners of jazz and R&B influences into their heady stews. New electronic producers are discovering the same richness and broad textures in grooves of Afro-Cuban, Brazilian, and Latin descent.
NEW LATINAIRES is hot stuff. Shifting lower-keyboard eddies ride tropical breezes through Jazzanova's "Atabaque", the music's basslines seemingly carved from rubberised mercury. Squirts of electronics spin through tympani-and-timbale battlefields on Izuru Utsumi's "Zum-Zum". Capsule 150 brings Jobim and Cal Tjader into eight arms of rhythmic nirvana viathe tumbling cymbals, yawning wah-wah, and space-age loungeair bursts entwined in "Octopus". Electronica continues to spawn myriad, wonderful hybrids, and NEW LATINAIRES 1 is the prime place to set your lobes a-twirlin'.
