...'trust all's well.
"Tumba Y Quema' provided a very interesting listen, from the opening track, the chugging, bluesy "Ella, to the zouk-and-bachata-flavoured "Ahi E", and the punchy pop-sounding "Frio Martirio".
My pick: the infectious flute-and-percussion driven "Son Maloso".
I'll have fun with this.
Thanks again...

There are also two guest musicians: Istvan Dely (congalegres), and Murad Abbas (trombone). David’s original paintings supply the framework and inspiration for Máté Jakab’s beautiful and stylish artwork. Mastered at Tam Tam Studio, produced by David Dely, coproduced by Shangó Dely, executive produced by Márton Takács, David Dely and Shangó Dely, published by Chamaleon Records, this album is most certainly a unique gem of the cultural globalization of our days and, more specifically, of a new COLOMBO-HUNGARIAN CONNECTION.
