Bomba New CD, Cuatro Caminos CD of the Week on CKUA Radio
(March 12, 2009)

If you've ever experienced ¡Bomba! live, you know that this superlative band can deliver its good cheer and powerful energy in an entire range of Latin styles. The band can do it all, from rumba and son to traditional Afro-Cuban Santeria chants and drumming, to Latin jazz. ¡Bomba! has invited a few world-renowned guests from Los Muñequitos de Matanzas and Chile's venerable Inti-Illimani to augment the already solid line-up of conga, bongo, cajon, tres, bass, guitar, violin and piano.

Emilio Rios' bighearted crooning sets a fine groove in the grand old style of Cuban popular music, and Chris Andrew's commanding piano brings a layer of harmonic complexity to Bomba's upbeat tunes. I can't stop singing along with the infectious album opener, Vamonos Pa'l Malecon (Let's Go To The Malecon). A Latin tour de force - from right here in Alberta. (Lark Clark)
