Stunning new recording by Latin Jazz “First Lady” and pianist Rebeca Mauleón along with a cast of Latin music legends.

Descarga en California (Universal/Pimienta) is the stunning new recording by Latin Jazz “First Lady” and pianist Rebeca Mauleón along with a cast of Latin music legends. Under Mauleón’s musical direction, Descarga en California features the intense and raw spontaneity of the historic Cuban jam sessions of the 1950s, and unites percussion giants Giovanni Hidalgo (congas), Orestes Vilató (timbales & bongos), and special guest and Latin music treasure Armando Peraza (bongos) of Santana fame. This truly unique recording showcases the brilliance of each and every player’s exquisite musicianship, and takes the listener on a wonderful journey through the power of Latin rhythm. Recorded in San Francisco & Burbank, California, Descarga en California unites some of the brightest stars of the “Nor-Cal” and “So-Cal” Latin music scene, and brings passion and fire back into Latin Jazz!

Descarga en California review by Evan C. Gutierrez for All Music Guide - http://www.allmusic.com
"Descarga en California offers the best of both worlds. The music is familiar, like home, and yet the performances are so daring that one can't help but feel that they are hearing comparsa for the first time. Though the disc is noticeably void of piano solos, which seems strange at first, Mauleón certainly makes her presence known. She has a swing and grace to her style that is unmistakable, the spine of the band. Percussionists Armando Peraza, Orestes Vilató and Giovanni Hidalgo supply more than enough mind bending, time shifting solo phrases to make up for the lack of showing off on the part of the band leader. With an unmistakably West Coast taste for backbeat, the priority of every tune is the pocket, an unwavering groove, cut deep by Cuban drummer Jimmy Branly. Every single tune twists and winds it's way to top-of-the-lungs coro-shouting intensity before fading out, in true descarga style. The arrangements are smart and tasty, with the confident touch of an artist who has nothing to prove, just wanting to make truly good music. The soloists, on the other hand, play with reckless abandon, like they have nothing to lose. It is exactly her ability to find this balance that distinguishes Mauleón as one of the hippest band-leaders in Latin music today. Latin music fans can only hope that there's a lot more where Descarga en California came from." ~ Evan C. Gutierrez, All Music Guide
