Ayer Y Hoy

Ayer Y Hoy

After nine decades, Banda El Recodo still offer dazzling surprises. Always tuned in to international sounds, long ago divining the brass-driven connection between jazz and banda, the beloved ensemble fills Ayer y Hoy with swinging instrumentals, alternately playful and powerful. The horns roar with triumphant force on “La Vaquita,” while the rhythm section finds its inner funk on the fleet “Conga Roja.” And even when the players cede the spotlight, the dual vocalists stun, whether subtle or soulful.
