1001 Albums Summary

- I want to be a citizen of the united funk of funkadelica. - I think each track stands out on their own and the lengths are great too -the guitar is so good -This was hard to find though as it's unavailable on like every streaming service so I had to listen via YouTube video

reminds me of the black keys, really dig this

put de lime in de coconut ...

too damn good

so influential on so many levels, I listen to this album daily

if I was stoned I would totally like the first half of this. the second part just gets repetitive

- it took me a minute to make connections on why the name of the group was familiar to me! I remember being in my Aesthetics of Editing class and watching clips from the documentary made about Buena Vista Social Club! 💖 - perfect album to lay back and drink a cold cerveza or mojito to - reminds me of going to Coppelia on 14th St at 3am after working on finals to have a nice Cuban sandwich and plantains... nothing beats the sandwiches back home in florida though, obviously - there's something about this chiller style of bolero that you can't hate on, even if the songs are a bit repetitive in nature. it's music meant to be enjoyed in the sunlight, preferably somewhere beachy where you can float in saltwater, but if that's not available, I think wearing some linen clothes would suffice. It's interesting to listen to this while walking the streets of NYC in November of all months, but it's welcome. -favorite track was probably El Cuarto de Tula for the instrumental work on it being impeccable

ngl the first track bored me. it worried me about the rest of the album. It's not really my type of vibe, but I can appreciate it. I think there's a lot to be said for the varied instrumental elements, but I felt that the tempo wasn't my speed until Heavy Metal Drummer. Pot Kettle Black and Jesus, Etc. were my favorites. I can see why this got so much acclaim, and I think it would be a great fall album if I had any connection to it.
