New - Vecchio - Afro-Rock - LP

Description

Vecchio”s Afro-Rock is one big horn-heavy, bass-blasting, Latin groove funk-rock party. This beautifully presented reissue, part of Be With”s fresh campaign with Music De Wolfe, is well overdue. A magnificent and somewhat obscure library set that”s just a total, cohesive joy from start to finish, this here is the soundtrack to all your smokin” summer BBQs and communal cookouts. Afro-Rock is the debut album by Argentine keyboardist Luis Vecchio. Recorded for the sound library label De Wolfe, the album is frequently mentioned in hushed reverence among the beat digger DJ collecting crowd. It features fiery brass charts, funky bass lines, fluttering flute, choppy organ and additional hand tribal percussion. The band let loose too and jam hard; yet there”s a certain thread of solidity that runs throughout, the tracks just belong together, not disparate sound and rhythm experiments like some library records; this is just straight up, no messin”, consistent funk-rock fire. Hips will sway, heads will nod to the steady vibes. It”s insanely good. The audio for Afro Rock has been meticulously remastered by Be With regular
Simon Francis, ensuring this release sounds better than ever.
Cicely Balston”s expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the records have been pressed to the highest possible standard at Record Industry in Holland. The original, iconic sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue.
