Description
Cosa Nostra - Cosa Nostra CD. Heavy duty rare Latin funk psych album recorded in Mexico City in 1971, their English language debut (not to be confused with their Spanish-language second album, reissued by Lazarus on LP); heavy grooves right from the start, with hard guitar, bass, drums and organ kicking it and not letting up; sounds a little like the Black Sugar albums, if you can imagine U-Roy singing along with the rhythm tracks, and some strangely dissonant background singers chiming in to boot; but all vocal limitations aside, has some great cuts, such as the eponymous track Cosa Nostra, the funky Squeeze it Tight with a real pushy groove, the rife-for-sample intro to Proud Mary, and the shimmering Change of Mind. (new, unplayed)
