NEW CD: Corazon Latino - Desde Barranquilla 2007
This is the second album by CORAZON LATINO, maintaining the unique acoustic touch they are known for. New songs, all written by members of CORAZON LATINO and new sounds contributed by some of the best musicians from the carribean coast of Colombia. There are folkloric instruments used as the gaita, bombardino and clarinette. Beneath it all stays the rich percussionsound accompanied by the great basslines of Edgardo Fabregas.
There is a lot of space for the wonderful voices of CORAZON LATINO's Leadsingers: Gloria Velandia and Sebastian Enrique. Einar Escaf who is one of Colombias most known producers (Carlos Vives) and Andy Bopp, director, composer and guitarplayer of CORAZON LATINO have produced a wonderful album that breathes the air of Colombias Coast. As always the album goes straight to the heart of latino music because its CORAZON LATINO.
CD Reviews:
"Corazon Latino is a partnership of musicians from Colombia and Switzerland. Desde Barranquilla is their second album and it brings listeners the sound of the Colombian coast using a rich mix of traditional instruments, infectious rhythms and original songs composed by the group. This acoustic album is a breath of fresh, infectious music as good as the aroma of just-brewed Colombian coffee."

"Whew, I feel brand new after listening to this... All the guest vocalists on this album are perfectly placed. With traditional instruments and vocal arrangements, this album sports an Afro Cuban feel that is light but packs serious talent. All parts fit together nicely with nothing outshining the other... Is it soul? Is it Jazz? Is it world? Yes, it’s all of these things. Corazon Latino are all of these things. Their music is a party and we’re all invited!"
Mut Asheru from "Unsigned The Magazine"
