“Ever since the crossover success of Bob Marley, reggae has made its way into the popular musical expressions of every region on the planet. Latin Reggae is a collection featuring both trailblazers and newcomers from the rock and reggae scenes of Latin America and Spain. Across the ocean in Barcelona, Spain, reggae has become an essential element of the mestizo sound, a thriving new genre of popular music that means "mixed." Its leading musicians, include Macaco, formerly of nuevo flamenco supergroup Ojos de Brujo, and Amparanoia, the musical project of Amparo Sanchez. Other cutting-edge bands from Spain featured on this collection include the multi-cultural collective of Cuban, Spanish and African musicians that make up Radio Malanga, and the ska/reggae blends of Muchachito Bombo Infierno and Black Gandhi.”
