Palo Congo is an exciting album. There's a lot of conga playing and I really enjoy congas. Since it's Afro-Cuban music, it's sung in Spanish. It's too bad I don't understand Spanish. However I suspect there's not much depth to the lyrics. The fast rhythm, the repetition, the conga-playing and the singing, which on some songs is more like loud calling, all combine to give it a real tribal, primal feeling.
The songs have a similar sound, except for Rhapsodia del Maravilloso and, perhaps, Tribilin Cantore, since both are guitar-oriented songs. Because of the similar-sounding songs, it may get tiresome to listen to this album often, but it's certainly worth taking out now and then, especially if you want to hear something a little exotic.
The songs that really stand out are El Cumbamchero, Billumba-Palo Congo, Simba, Aggo Elegua and Tribillin Cantore.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
