Roots in Concrete carves out a bit of the tropical experience amidst an unforgiving urban setting with its pulsating rhythms that fuses modern and traditional sounds; paying tribute to the old country. In this album Machete Movement fuses bomba, rumba and African sounds and adds a modern twist with contemporary beats, bass and vocals. Roots in Concrete features original Machete Movement works along with great covers of Hector Lavoe, Sergio Mendes and Cortijo y Su Bonche. This album takes the listener to islands of the carribean, folkloric times of Colombia and Mama Africa. This album will easily become a landmark production that will be played for many years and passed on from generation to generation.
