Next up in theMr Bongo Cuban Classics series is an outing by the mighty Juan Pablo Torres from 1978. Released on Cubas state-owned Areito imprint, Algo Nuevo showcases trombonist, bandleader, arranger and producer Juan Pablo Torres’ unique scope of sound. A melting pot of an album that weaves together jazz-funk and traditional Afro-Cuban genres with tripped-out synth touches and dancefloor grooves.

A varied album encompassing a variety of Afro-Cuban genres and rhythms entwined with flashes of mind-bending cosmic influence. Algo Nuevo is a further jewel in Cubas musical crown of riches, with plenty of dancefloor treats and downtempo numbers held within.
