LAを拠点に活動する GILBERTO RODRIGUEZ が率いる LOS INTOCABLES 最新作。グワワンコーやキューバン・ルンバを基調とした、チカーノ系ソウル・バンドである。同シーンを牽引する存在となった CHICANO BATMAN 系譜の急先鋒。演奏力はさることながら、サイケ色を全開に出したサイケデリック・サルサには正直くらった。JACK WHITE のツアーにも参加した CHICANO BATMAN のベース・シスト EDUARD ARENAS、昨年初のソロ・シングルがスマッシュヒットを記録した同じく CHICANO BATMAN のフロントマン BARDO MARTINEZ らも大絶賛。"CAETANO VELOSO 1972年作『TRANSA』の気風" という BARDO MARTINEZ の評価も大変興味深い。ラテン鈴木

Drop the needle & start navigating the heat of a Backyard Rumba with Los Intocables, led by Gilberto Rodriguez. We present Modern Chicano Soul creased down the middle of Bay Area Guaguanco street rhythms accompanied by overdriven Bass and expressionist trumpet lines in full color. Groove laden tracks bring the cruise to life and steal a kiss on the tropics of an eternal brown-eyed summer.
Los Intocables are Ahkeel Mestayer on all Percussion, Ruben Sandoval on keys, brothers Carlos and Jorge Rodriguez on trumpets & Gilberto Rodriguez on guitars and vocals featuring guest vocals from Ilia Correa Sepulveda on Bahía Caliente.
"Sabor Maracuyá is a sonic reflection of a long journey. It has the ethos of Caetano Veloso's Transa, full of Afro-Latin grooves with a spontaneous lyrical flow that transcends labels. It’s a feeling that is unique to the thoughts and the mind that created it.” - Bardo Martinez / Chicano Batman
“If the Afro-Latin Caribbean islands had a three day long Woodstock jam during the birth to Aztlan, then ate the bread of the gods, this is exactly what it would sound and taste like. Sabor Maracuyá Desnuda, adds to Gilberto Rodríguez’ eclectic and versatile library.
Spanish vocals, ad lib melodies, heavy percussion, psychedelic guitar riffs and Acid Salsa. The listener is sure to be on a heavy trip of Fania peyote and sophisticated Jazz.
Billed as Gilberto Rodríguez y Los Intocables, this mezcla of exotic fruits, limon y Tajin is certainly “intocable”, untouched by musical barriers and false borders.
So take a hit, let your brown face get splashed by the sun, and enjoy the ride." - H/M- Raza del Soul, San Jo, Califas
"Sabor Maracuyá es una encyclopedia de dulce melodia, ritmo y honestidad. Gilberto nos pasea en su corriente de consciencia, un surradero de sabor y loca pasión." - É Arenas/Chicano Batman
