Review: Flamenco rumba fusion from Latin America became Catalan rumba thanks to the inspirations that came over from Cuba and Puerto Rico in the early 1960s. Add in the pop sounds from the British Invasion and American pop of the late 1960s and you have this rich melting pot of rhythm and sound that makes up this collection of so-called Spanish gypsy soul and funk from the seventies. It is a colourful and freewheeling collection that takes in intoxicating sounds like Dolores Vargas's 'La Terremoto La Borracha' next to the instrumental funk of Bambino's 'Ven Aqui Junto A Mi' and plenty more besides.
