Free Music Notes for El Agua De La VidaFree Music Review: Salsa Celtica CD Hit: 5 StarsWho says there's no new, amazing music out there? Classic Celtic folk music combined with Salsa, bred from the group's time spent with the sizzling Latin Carribe masters of Cuba ...go figure. Its off the well beaten path but full of energy and enough surprises to keep you moving to it's infectious beat while grabbing your senses with the unexpected. And never let it be said that there is nothing wrong with a few good looking men in kilts. Sabor!
Free Music Review: Must-dance-now Music - Great for Parties & Road Trips Hit: 5 StarsThis is the CD everyone in the family grabs when they have to drive someplace far away, or it's a grey day and they want cheering up, or a bunch of friends came over and we feel like dancing. Impossible not to smile when this is on. Now, I'd give almost anything to see these guys live.
Free Music Review: Great CD Hit: 5 StarsIf you love either Salsa or Celtic music, this band is the one for you. Amazing music that makes you move your body whether you know the steps or not.
Free Music Review: Surprising! Hit: 5 StarsI first became aware of these guys while watching a movie, (Driving Lessons). In the film, there is a scene in a club where there is a band in the background playing salsa. At some point the camera catches the band and I realize it is an outsized group with some members wearing kilts!?! I couldn't let that go without notice so I waited till the end of the film when they finally roll the music credits and discovered the band was Salsa Celtica. Now I was really intrigued and looked up their list of cd's. I settled on this one because it had the songs they played in the movie. When it arrived, I played it through and listened for the first time mostly undistracted. The unique intertwining of celtic sounds and instrumentation with salsa beat and rythym was amazing. And if you think (like I did), that the two genres were not a good mix, then just listen with an open mind. It is amazing how they carry this off and it sounds so natural and fun. I will be purchasing more of this bands' music, these guys know how to have a good time. Enjoy!
Free Music Review: A fine fusion Hit: 5 StarsI saw this band perform in the film Driving Lessons. I was so much in love with their music that I went directly home to order the CD from Amazon. I'm not disappointed. What a great idea - to somehow fuse Celtic instrumentation into Latin music. It's an original and natural fit. It's not gimmicky like Paul Simon's African forays, wherein it sounds like he took the vocals off an indigenous recording and added his own. There's a real synthesis here, and it works perfectly.
Salsa Celtica has got the horns, great lead singing and unison background choruses of Latin, as well as the violin and flute of Celtic music. For me that's heaven.
