Product Description
CD Description
After spearheading the revival of urban salsa in Bogota as well as in the rest of Colombia, La 33's self- titled debut album features the band’s unique concept of contemporary salsa. There’s a strong New York 60s-style street influence, a tight brass section, riding electric bass and singer/composer Malpelo's feisty Caribbean vibe. As well as the more urban and sophisticated style of singer/composer Guillo all add to an irresistible and totally fresh-sounding new-wave salsa party. But ultimately, it’s the collaboration between all the musicians of La 33 and the two brothers - bassist, arranger, director Sergio Mejia and pianist Santiago Mejia - that make this release such a joy from start to finish. A new Colombian salsa experience! Tracks: La 33 / Soledad / Anny’s Boogaloo / La Pantera Mambo / Que Rico Boogaloo / Suelta el Bongo / La Película / La Vida Se Pasa a Mil / El Tornillo de Guillo / Manuela.

This is simply 'sunshine music'. My first listen to this CD was yesterday when the rain was pouring down outside, but this music just lifted my mood straight away.
I might not understand the words, but the beats and rhythms are speaking volumes about happy days and having fun. You can soon imagine yourself in faraway Latin climes where the sun is shining, people are happy, and feet are dancing away.
There are some great brass parts, which stand out and make a statement. A very interesting inclusion is La pantera Mambo - the pink panther has probably never received such a fascinating treatment before - very well done.
Ideal for any party where people can let their hair down, get moving and practice their Salsa steps!

La 33 arrived to my ears through Last-fm as one of the suggestions of new artist in the salsa field. Its single ¨La pantera mambo¨ is a rich collection of fusions between latin jazz and underground salsa movements. I was very pleased to find that its album is much more than just one single, and that not only covers salsa, but also mambo and bogaloo with different perspectives.
Listen to this album of La 33 is like being transported to one of the almighty salsa clubs in Cali, Colombia. The band succeeds in shaping an album with the energy of a live performance even in a recording studio.
The style of the album can be catalogued as ¨a unisex salsa¨, that is, a genre that can well be worth for a fan of the Gran Combo de Puerto Rico or to an avid listener of new groupings like Orishas or Sergent Garcia. Its swing is in some respect influenced by Yerba Buena, Sidestepper, and Eddie Palmieri.
The best songs for my taste:
- La pantera mambo¨
- Que rico boogaloo
- La 33
- Suelta el Bongo
