Banda

Product Description Banda by Juancho Herrera Review Singer/guitarist Herrera, now based in New York, is from Venezuela and Colombia, but the influences here go far beyond those borders. Not only does he also reference Peruvian festejo, Cuban changüí, bolero, merengue, and funk, he throws in some African guitar stylings as well. And, playing with the cream of NYC's Latin jazz community -- keyboardist Jason Lindner, vocalist Claudia Acuña, saxophonist/clarinetist Anat Cohen, bassist Ben Zwerin (Nouvelle Vague), drummer Yayo Serka (Lila Downs), and many others -- his lilting original songs (only one track is a traditional tune) have a jazzy sophistication. "Salta" in particular is harmonically active, at first recalling some of Nana Vasconcelos's work with Pat Metheny but soon building up a much edgier, more driving groove complete with an abrasive Lindner synth solo. I don't understand a word Herrera sings, but his tuneful melodies, sweet vocals, and versatile, virtuoso guitar licks have a universal appeal. --Culturecatch
