"Salon Victoria's debut CD "Locos Y Rucas in Retro" is by far one of the best albums i've ever heard. The diversity in this record is very unique, one moment you're hearing ska, the next you're hearing swing, then some mambo and then before you know it some hardcore punk comes in! The 11 musicians that make up this band are truly talented. The drummer, Cheko Mendoza could easily replace the drummer of Rush!
Stand out tracks on this album are: "Nasty Uncle Hippy", "Satanas Swing", "Fandango Allende" (the tale of Chile's slain leader), "Pozoñas Surf" "Ciudad Sin Guerra" (which talks about getting drunk in a romantic version of Mexico City), and "La Noche Estaba Puesta".
This album is a masterpiece, a must have if you're looking for something unique and refreshing.
Recommended for fans of ska, swing, punk, rockabilly, mambo, tango and just good music in general."
