“A Fine Album!”
Ernesto Lechner
“A Latin sound that is sophisticated and unexpected!”
The tight new sound of the groundbreaking band Ola Fresca (now featuring two trombones) arrives with a hard swing that grooves over the 9 songs that make up Elixir. It is a rhythmically and lyrically deep musical antidote to factional bickering everywhere in the world which skillfully blends Cuban son, rumba, and timba, and Puerto Rican-style salsa, in a fresh sound that embraces the best of New York’s Latin scene.
“Elixir is clearly one of the best albums of the year!”
SONGLINES UK
“Hot, Modern Salsa! Not a dull moment. 4 Stars!”
PBS NEWS AND CULTURE – KPCC Southern California

SOLAR LATIN CLUB Cali, Colombia
“Explosive!” “An invitation to brotherhood that moves masses”
released June 1, 2015
Produced by Jose Conde and Andy Taub
