As usual Cantuaria puts together a very listenable album from start to finish. The genre of bossa nova and Latin lounge music is one that often fades into the background, but don’t be fooled! The allstar cast of musicians will lay down a decent groove and then go from there. Listen for the virtuosity of the album, but also the surprises and flourishes that Cantuaria likes to use to accent his productions. - PeteJORGE CALDERON
