""Punk Mambo" is the epitome of "world music." Their all inclusive punky-poppy-rocky-boppy-happy-go-lucky sound that makes even those with two left feet want to dance. The lyrics are in English, French, Spanish, Swahili... and more. Because they draw from many different cultural sounds and musical traditions, they appeal to every audience member they enounter. At concerts, everyone boogies: punks, skaters, preps, kids, geriatrics, baby boomers...people from every race and all walks of life. (Perhaps their ability to meld many different sounds comes from Babaloo's conception in Jamiaca Plain, a great little neighborhood of Boston, where many races, classes and creeds can get along.) No matter where your music taste lies, you chould check out their two CDs: "Punk Mambo," and "Hardcore Juju," both being a spunky synthesis of mambo, reggae, salsa, ska, rock, juju, punk, hardcore, & merengue."
FANTASTIC!!
