Joe Cuba - 1972 - Bustin' Out


Of all the genres I think salsa and highlife are the most carefree and happy of them all. I don't know, might be just a personal preference but the moment I hear some salsa I always switch to a better mood. Joe Cuba and his sextet are one pretty intense and funky salsa band and they do not shy away from mixing genres and rhythms. There's even a pure, no frills soul ballad on here. But love songs aside most of this album is dirty loving, percussive fast salsa with a lot of 18+ rated oohs and aaahs. Pud-Da-Din is probably the most intense non-porn song I've ever heard (and, yes, I'm including all those kinky enka records from the 70s with boobies).
