“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
“Exciting! Swings throughout across the borders (of salsa and son), obliterating any supposed differences!”
SOLAR LATIN CLUB Cali, Colombia
“Explosive!” “An invitation to brotherhood that moves masses”
released June 1, 2015
Produced by Jose Conde and Andy Taub
NEW YORK TIMES
