Mongo Santamaria – Hey! Let’s Party (1966/2016) [HDTracks FLAC 24bit/96kHz]

Hey! Let’s Party represents one of percussionist Mongo Santamaria’s first and most engaging plunges into the world of contemporary pop, galvanizing well-known chart smashes with the energy and abandon of Latin soul. It’s a simple formula that proved remarkably successful and flexible across a series of likeminded LPs — Santamaria approaches texts like “Walk on By” and “I Got You (I Feel Good)” with deep respect and understanding, creating soulful, righteous rhythms that snake in and out of the original melodies with brilliant precision. Even battered warhorses like Glenn Miller’s “In the Mood” breathe new life, proving Santamaria’s uncanny capacity for making the familiar funky. -AllMusic Review by Jason Ankeny
