Solid, hard-swinging salsa band Salsa Celtica just happen to be from Scotland. They formed in Scotland in 1995, and in 1997 they recorded their debut album, Monstruos y Demonios, Angels and Lovers. Subsequently, the Scots provided an album titled El Agua de la Vida, which means "the water of life" in Spanish and was released on the Compass label in 2003. The members of Salsa Celtica have included, among others, pianist Phil Alexander, percussionist/vocalist Lino Rocho, flutist/saxophonist Steve Kettley, saxman Frasier Fifield, banjo player/guitarist Coyne Eamonn, percussionist Javier Chernicoff, and violinist/guitarist Kenny Fraser. ~ Alex Henderson
