The Latin craze is upon us and bringing with it a wave of hot salsa tinged music with roots in the South. Among them, Puente del Diablo (Devil?s Bridge), which is beckoning on the strength of the traditional couched comfortably in the contemporary. No, this is not a Spanish speaking death metal band but a four man collective playing vibrant nouveau flamenco music with modern flourishes and an accent on liveliness. Puente del Diablo released this self-titled six song debut in February of this year and currently running the gig-gamut and increasing their chances at maximum exposure. They?ve been spotted most recently at the Latin Music Festival and elsewhere, and audiences have taken naturally to a dependable sound which has given Latin music its broad cross-cultural appeal, especially of late.

While a good portion of this disc maintains itself in the instrumental realm, there is a strong interplay of vocals to be found on Amorame and Luna y Sol. The title track is a beautifully rendered piece with an elaborate opening and a strong dancing body which will give this band some strong dancing body which will give this band some strong wings once the fanbase gains momentum. A must-see live act with great potential for the dicriminatory label. Is anyone listening?
