On this, his 22nd album for Concord Picante (since 1982!), conguero par excellence Poncho Sanchez and his legendary band pay homage to some of his soul heroes, as well as reaching into the timeless traditions of Afro-Cuban jazz and son. Standouts include their rousing treatments of the Stax soul classics “Raise Your Hand” and “Knock On Wood” and the Cuban song “¿Dónde Va Chichi?” One listen to this great album and you will immediately see why Poncho Sanchez is widely acknowledged as the most popular Latin jazz artist in the world today.
