October 15, 1996
Mix the high-octane sugar rush of a café con leche with the no-nonsense stomping of New York’s ska underground and you’ve got the wicked shot on goal that’s King Changó — antidote to tired guitar bands, dozy loungecore and formula whatever. Eight Latino rudies (OK, the horn players are gringos) build a groove founded on dancehall chants, deep space dub, straight-up skanking and Latin rhythms. Meet the house band of the urban planet.
