LA CLAVE- S/T


LA CLAVE
Self Titled
1973

Here's a lil treat for you guys from a west coast latin funk combo headed by Benny Velarde!

The album also features some work from Lalo Schifrin who was tied to the project somehow (Velarde claims that the record was killed by MGM upon release because of a feud with Lalo)

There's a definite link here with some of Schifrin's funkier soundtrack of the period -- a great blend of jazzier elements and headier 70s latin funk

Titles include "The Ghetto", "Latin Slide", "Who You Fooling", "Road Runner", "Soul Sauce", "Cocoa Leaf", and "Move Your Hands".

ENJOY!!!
