Description
The conga-timbale pickup into the chorus of Latin Slide is pure dance-floor magnetism, the kind of hit that flips a living room into a little club. La Clave’s self-titled set blends Latin rock, salsa dura and a touch of soul, with tight horns and tumbling percussion pushing everything forward. This pressing helps the groove breathe; the low end sits deeper and the percussion images more cleanly around the kit. Vocals ride high but never harsh, letting the coros cut through when the band locks into a montuno.
You’ll file this near early-70s Latin rock, right alongside Santana’s most rhythmic moments, but La Clave lean further into street-level salsa and descarga energy. It’s music for a small party that suddenly lasts till 2am, equally at home prepping a Saturday tidy in Melbourne or lifting a late drive.
If you’d rather order online, you can buy La Clave records online with us. Across the LP there’s a conversational feel between brass and rhythm section, little breaks and handclap cues that make the band feel like they’re right there in the room. Latin Slide is the standout floor-filler, though the deeper cuts reward a full side spin without skipping.
For anyone chasing that sweet spot where Bay Area-era Latin rock meets barrio grit, this belongs in the rotation. Buy online now with fast shipping across Australia, or pick it up in our Preston record store.
