Yoyi

Description

To launch the new Cuban Classic series from Mr Bongo, we are delighted to present this sought-after psychedelic-funk masterpiece. A fusion of traditional Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms, disco, jazz and funk, with notes of 1970s sound production, this highly regarded cult album comprising nine predominantly instrumental tracks is a true treasure that deserves much wider appreciation. One look at the trippy artwork and you know it's going to be special.Originally released in 1977 on Areito Records, a sub-label of the state label Egrem, it has become one of the label's rarest (even in Cuba) and most sought-after albums. It is the only album by Grupo Los Yoyi and was composed, orchestrated and produced by the mysterious Jorge Soler Leó. It is one of our favourite and most cherished albums from Cuba and is the ideal flagship for our Cuban Classics series. Watch this space, much more is to follow.
