Surfin' Senorita - A Tribute to Herb Alpert

Wildebeest Records
Song: South of the Border

There just ain't no getting around the spectacular sound of Pollo Del Mar. Their twin guitar attack straddles dissonant discordant edge and pristine shimmering joy. This is totally tubular, happy and free of borders. The second half drops into a very cool hand clap rhythm and bass thing with much suavity. Way cool. ****(4 Stars)
