• 1. Chicken & Booze
      • 2. Aguardiente Y Pollo

      Harlem percussionist and Salsa bandleader Manny Corchado's boogaloo grooves remain essential listening decades after first impact. On the 7" 'Chicken And Booze / Aguardiente Y Pollo', we've a practical genre-define, recalling the energy of his classic 'Pow-Wow', but with a B-sider's burn, where this track originally appeared on that one's rear end. Nelson y Sus Estrellas, the Venezuela-based tropical orchestra led by pianist and composer Nelson Gonzalez Rojas, delivers the Spanish language take on the same tune; their take keeps the dancefloor drive intact while weaving in richer melodic lines and salsa-infused arrangements.
