Day 6: Machito - Kenya (1957)


We're now onto my second Latin Jazz album and I loved this one even more than "Palo Congo". Machito's album was exclusively instrumental unlike Sabu's but the songs were catchier and made me want to dance like crazy while listening to it. Whereas "Palo Congo" was reminiscent of a street band in Havana, "Kenya" made me imagine I was in a stylish jazz club in Miami with couples dancing on the floor. Truly great stuff. 5/5.

Tracks I enjoyed the most: Wild Jungle, Kenya, Oyeme, Cannonology & Minor Rama.
