Los Vampiros

s/t   10"

(SNAP!!)



Speakers will blow to tatters, given the straight-out forcefulness of the Zaragoza four's reading of Charlie's immortal "Break Up." The muscular saxophone in strong evidence struts throughout successive numbers. Featured are a 1914 Jose Padilla paso doble (during which intoxicating talents are paraded), corrido articulation, and Classic Rock 'n' Roll owed to a storied duck-walker and a sideburned former truck driver. All leap to declare jurisdiction in tones unconditional. Conclusive cut "Mírame" is an accordian-laced romper whose propulsion gains vital thrust from spirited harmonica and group singalonging that evokes cantina merriment.

Recommended: "Break Up," "Vampiros!," "Flaming Star," "El Relicario," "Forty Days," "Look at Me"

Videos: "Break Up"   "Flamin' Star"
