Pleasurable, Tasty Gumbo; Noteworty Production; Look Forward to More
by Kevin VazquezWhat a pleasurable disc on a lot of levels. Glad my friend turned me on to it. ConGa PunKs’ Music’s Genre Defiance is a highly musical gumbo with a lot of tasty, varied ingredients: the heavy-bottomed horns-and-percussion Latin drive of Guajira and A Dios Delia; the very cigs and martinis, woozy mood of the flute-led Minor; the punky, metallic rock rant of Hollywood’s Heaven; even Afro-Cuban percussion interludes (with twists) in the very short pieces Perro Los Rumberos and Little Baby Batu. There’s even a brief reggae-feeling section near the end of the highly Latin ¿Ya Te Vas? Many of these pieces have two, or even three distinct feels within their separate sections, but, rather than feeling contrived or mere gimmicks, stand as unusual, but still organic grooves. The production of the CD, by Cougar Estrada, is noteworthy in itself. These musical effects add texture and detail to the tunes without distracting from the musical values of the work. Highlights include: Minor’s flute and flanged wah-wah guitar coupled with turntable scratching and old, scratchy record background; clavinet counterpoint to horns leading to a vibes break blending to a free-form vocal and sax yowl and ending with a trumpet and flute interjection on Why Did You Act Like That?; Your Way has cool acoustic guitar and mariachi trumpet accents on a piece in 5/4 time. …A fine initial effort. I look forward to hearing more from the ConGa PunKs.
familiar yet fresh
by capucine del norteOne sign of a strong album is that it grows on you more and more each time you listen to it. This offering from the ConGa PunKs does just that. At first I detected hints of Cake, Sublime, Ozo, Calexico and vintage Red Hot Chili Peppers spun together with killer classic latin grooves. But these references just scratch the surface. An interesting mixing of sounds, some sweet power chords and tight musicianship keep you coming back for more. By the way, the drummer is also in Los Lobos - and if you've ever seen them live, you know he blows the roof off the sucka.
