Tweede album van dit "salsa con vibes" gezelschap in de beste traditie van Joe Cuba Sextet, New Swing Sextet..... 2014 release
Inspired by the multi-ethnic music-fusion of 1950s and 60s’ Spanish Harlem, Lucky 7 brings to the west coast the high energy sounds of the classic mambo. The band features the haunting harmonies of the vibraphone, an unlikely instrument now as much as it was in the 50s and 60s. Featuring some of the hardest-working musicians in LA, the band is inspired by old-school greats like Jimmy Sabater, Cheo Feliciano, and Joe Cuba. This uniquely American-made style draws the best of the Cuban son, African-American jazz and Puerto Rican soul. It incorporates both English and Spanish lyrics flowing in and out of the same tune and offers up not just a swingin’ dance beat, but a thoughtful account of love lost, Latin pride, and clever double-entendres. Lucky 7 Mambo band members, united by their love of mambo, bring to the stage the flavor of the past with the intensity of the present. Lucky 7 Mambo Chapter Two has featured artist such as Grammy Winner and Nominee Poncho Sanchez, Art Webb, one of the member of The American Idol Band "Kevin Ricard", Johnny Polanco and Grammy Winner Oscar Hernandez from The Spanish Harlem Orchestra. Chapter Two presents to the listener an array of different types of latin rhythms. All music arrangements are done by Rene Camacho, Francisco Torres, Luis Eric Gonzalez, Oscar Hernandez, Joe Rotondi, Tony Shogren and Johnny Crespo.
