Wow! This is refreshing. A Cranston, RI, band that plays an Afro-Cuban Flamenco style. “Quero Cantar” gets us tapping with its friendly harmonious refrain, “I just want to sing a song for you.” Cool speedy hand claps at one point add a nice little bridge. Next is a catchy insistent guitar riff in “Zapateo,” my favorite song on this EP. Percussion and bass joins in, making everything bounce. The message is all about moving forward – “Here we are/ We’re movin’ to another day/ Forget about yesterday/ This is the day/ There are no more clichés.” It feels like a party with all the musicians celebrating. When the trumpets come in I just want to do a Mexican hat dance. Track 3, “Toma Mi Mano,” is totally in Spanish – and it jumps with a lot of percussion. “Balle En La Calle” is a little more suave in its presentation with crowd sounds from a party. I love the trumpet again – I can imagine being at a post-bullfight party – though the lyrics are more about a desire to dance with that special someone. “Waiting” incorporates a little call and response gang vocals. Again, the music is all about getting those hips rotating.  More cool hand clap percussion, a trumpet solo, and a nifty Spanish-type guitar solo. I wish The Noisereceived more CDs like this one. This collection of songs can shoot adrenaline into anyone’s party.   (T Max)
