Maybe you couldn't take that tropical vacation like you wanted, but Quitapenas "brings a transcendent energy that takes us to an island full of coconuts and papayas," so you're covered. Afro-Latin stylings meet modern instruments to give a new take on the world music of the later half of last century. Galloping bongos and congas provide a constant shimmying rhythm that Quitapenas' dextrous soloists improvise over in playful intersections. Grooves build in no hurry, and the journey is the destination. Quitapenas translates to "take away your worries" and their music will rid you of worries faster than a Spring Breaker downs a drink with an umbrella in it. (JF)
