LA JUNGLA Schallplatten & CDs

Review: La Jungla is a fresh project charting many fusions of Latin music and electronica. Blending cumbia, zouk salsa and reggae with more digitally-oriented styles from dembow to dub, this is a remarkably curious EP on the fronts of both experimentation and locale. Endlessly groovy but equally odd, the likes of 'Salto Palante' hear rap-sung vocals about spirituality and jubilance, exclaimed against the backdrop of acid bass plods and controlled instrumental cacophony.
