Los De Abajo - Actitud De Calle

(Wrasse Records)

Mexico’s crazy Los de Abajo – with their irresistible fusion of Latinised ska, rock, reggae and more – are here joined by a stellar list of guest musicians. Kicking off with the party ‘Fiesta’, powered by flashes of brass, this tight set stays true to their common sense politics delivered with wit and panache. Despite a few changes in personnel nothing here disappoints and let’s hope they return to European festival touring in 2011.
