our afro-latin warrior jose marquez is back once again on basic fingers with two new percussion infected workouts. those familiar with jose marquez s previous works will not be disappointed as this might be his strongest release yet. on quinto y bongo he goes on dark tribal journey with hints of electronic layers and some serious bongo action. the flip track canto del caribe is more direct & to the point with a full on percussion assault and fierce latin chants. a proper floor filler!
