Grupo Fantasma - El Existential - New album from the fantastic latin funk collective out now on Neo Geo Music!

Grupo Fantasma El Existential
Grupo Fantasma - El Existential
(CD) Nat Geo Music, 2010-05-11

This is the 4th studio album from the acclaimed Latin collective, and might be the apex of their work to date. The intrepid members of Grupo Fantasma have been doing things their own way for over a decade now, which continues with the highly anticipated and self-produced El Existential out May 11, 2010 on Nat Geo Music. An exceptional followup to their Grammy nominated Sonidos Gold (2008), this new effort's love for exploration using the sounds and fundamentals of traditional Latin styles is uniquely reminiscent of Fania Records; and Grupo Fantasma, like Fania's staple of artists in its prime, has been on the corner long enough to not only be tough, resilient and self-assured, but also be mature enough to turn out top quality material repeatedly on its own terms.
