El Guincho – Palmitos Park
Fuck it, the summer was over before it began but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. And El Guincho is here to set us on our way. This may be a tad more ear friendly that our last meeting but it is no less enjoyable. In fact it’s a riot, a samba parade of vibrant colour courtesy of Canary Islander Pablo Diaz-Reixa (El Guincho) who will be uploading his first album ‘Alegranza’ to the world in October. In truth it has been knocking around for a while but you can’t have enough of a good thing and El Guincho is certainly a mood enhancer. ‘Palmitos Park’ is 100% party fuel, a knockabout smile with happy vibes sweating from every one of its sweat drenched pores. Rain or shine he’ll always be one in a million. A five star effort. KD
