"Very very interesting album. Nice instrumentation, solid vocals and an overall track selection that seems to go nicely. I don't know hot to describe this group other than perhaps a cross between Soulstance and Reminiscence Quartet. They're heavy on the flute, but still manage to have a latin swing but without knowing which side of "latin" they want to swing with. Some of the rythms are clearly Brazilian, while the vocals are in Spanish. In the end, Montana Rusa is a very good album and I'm happy to have had it added to my collection. La Septima Ola is a track found on the Serve Chilled vol 3 compilation, but this one is a bit different. Las Luces Del Norte is another strong song.. perhaps the most popular one. It's also on many different compilations - including Kyoto Jazz Massive's Crossbreed. For a full track listing, check out Amazon.co.uk. Otherwise I'll try to post it below:1. Las Luces Del Norte
2. Ecos Morados
3. Montana Rusa
4. Butta Fingas
5. Go Bianco!
6. Daddy Chocula
7. Mi Amor Es
8. Las Luces Del Norte Reprise
9. Cuba Libre
10. El Noche
11. La Septima Ola

I recommend this CD. If you can find it, and you've collected Reminiscence Quartet, Soulstance or similar artists, I think you'll enjoy this release as well."
