Francisco Ulloa - Merengue! (1987)



I got back from two weeks on the beautiful Spanish island of Menorca earlier this week and I found this great album of Afro-Latin sounds the day after my return. This is a heady blend of African and Hispanic rhythms and it rushes headlong at breakneck speeds from start to finish. Francisco Ulloa has flying fingers and his accordian playing is pretty breathtaking:
