Vasos Vacios was the eighth album for Los Fabulosos Cadillacs, an Argentine rock-ska-reggae band and the title means empty glasses in Spanish. Classified under Latin music, this 1994 release was a compilation of previous songs along with new tracks and scored the band their biggest hit, Matador. In my view this was easily the band’s best album and if you want a taste of their music this is the one to get. The songs are all over the place in terms of their style and combine a mixture of ska, jazz, folk, reggae, funk, punk, salsa and even a tiny bit of big band with the predominant theme being ska. The combination works and each song is a pleasant surprise. The title track is an excellent song. It is a duet with the now deceased queen of salsa herself, Celia Cruz, and there is even a cover of the Clash’s Revolution Rock on this dynamic CD. Monday, February 23, 2009
