Return of El Santo

Author: King Chango

Format: Import

Release Date: 24-10-2000

Details: Amazon.ca As lean and mean as the Mexican wrestler for whom the album is named, New York-based Latin rockers King Chango (aptly named for the god of music) return with a more sophisticated version of the rock en español that gave them their reputation in 1996. There's plenty of ska and dub here, although with a generous helping of electronica and dance rhythms. Think of King Chango as a more urban version of Maldita Vecindad without the brooding that marks Los Jaguares. It's party time, and Andrew Blanco and the rest of the crew make it nonstop for you. When their eponymous debut appeared in 1996, they were ahead of the Latin curve. Times have changed a lot, but the frantic pace here, and the frequent changeup of styles (sometimes in the middle of a song), help keep them ahead of the growing pack. --Chris Nickson
