Heredia, Hugo

Mananita Pampera

A stunning rhythmic fusion of latin and jazz with a spiritual pulse. First released on an obscure French label in the 1970's it sunk further into obscurity and left no trace of it's passing but somehow a handful of copies turned up in various jazz shops in London where it was snapped up by DJ Paul Murphy, who was then playing to the embryonic jazz dance scene. Raw percussive rhythms overlaid with some furious jazzy solos hit the turntables and made the audience fill the dancefloor. Superbly produced by drummer Peter Schmidlin, who has conjured up a spiritual modal mixdown of Afro-Cuban and jazz extended percussive workouts. The record is being re-released with the original artwork.
