Arturo Sandoval – Come Candela
 |
 |
Each week we find a track from an artist or band we’ve been enjoying and bring it to you, for free, as our Canciòn de la Semana. Trumpeteer and bandleader Arturo Sandoval is a titan of Latin jazz. He jammed with his idol Dizzy Gillespie in the ’60s and ’70s and helped popularize Afro-Cuban jazz in the U.S. “Come Candela” is a jubilant celebration of the genre. Waves of undulating tropical brass are steeped in sensual mambo rhythms and occasionally seasoned with flute accents. The vocal choruses are part of the overall sound rather than a guiding narrative.
