Raúl Gómez – Instrumental (LP)
23,90 €*
For the next reissue in Mr Bongo’s Cuban Classics series, we turn to Raúl Gómez’s mesmerising 1977 album Instrumental — a spellbinding blend of orchestral disco, jazz-funk, Afro-Cuban rhythms, and soundtrack-inspired compositions. Released on Cuba’s state-owned Areito label, this dynamic record pulses with drum breaks, cinematic textures, and genre-defying energy, delivered by a powerhouse orchestra at the peak of their craft.
Raúl Gómez, known for his work with Mirtha Y Raul, Los Bucaneros, and as producer of the Los Reyes 73 classic, is a central figure in Cuban music. On Instrumental, he steps fully into the roles of composer, instrumentalist, arranger, and producer, delivering a richly layered album that floats between library music, mood pieces, cosmic-Latin funk, and psychedelic workouts — with echoes of Love Unlimited, MFSB, and a distinctive Afro-Cuban foundation.
The orchestrations are led by the formidable Orquesta EGREM, bringing vibrant horns, soaring strings, and relentless rhythmic drive.
Asha Puthli – The Devil Is Loose (LP)
23,90 €*
We can’t think of many artists that have had as diverse a career and who
have been involved in as many different genres of music as Asha Puthli.
A musical pioneer who forged a path through 60's psych, free-jazz, pop,
rock, disco, and more.
Asha's 1976 album 'The Devil Is Loose' is maybe her most well-known
record. Featuring the beautiful disco-funk-classic 'Space Talk’, Asha's
ethereal soaring vocals take us on a journey that almost mirrors Asha's
eclectic career. The track was championed by a wide-range of musical
scenes and movements, and over space and time it has been commandeered
as their own. You would hear it played by David Mancuso at the now
‘mythical’ underground New York party 'The Loft’, in the most discerning
disco nightclubs across the globe, in the Rare Groove scene, and also
being sampled by hip-hop heavyweights such as The Notorious B.I.G / P
Diddy, and The Pharcyde. The appeal and lifespan of ’Space Talk’ keeps
on extending and morphing as new audiences gleefully discover it for the
first time - it still sounds as relevant and fresh on the dancefloor
today - a sign of a true classic.
