Not heard the new one, but I'm looking forward to seeing him live in November. It's at a really small venue, which is going to be very different from seeing him rock the crowd at Primavera '08.

I enjoyed this a lot. He just played at Spaceland and I missed it

I don't think there was any better place to hear El Guincho than at Primavera '08 with several people jumping around going bonkers as the sun was coming up (or was it going down? I can't remember too well!) I'm sad I missed most of his set. Alegranza was my Person Pitch of 2008. For me it's the ultimate in galloping dance beats, latin rhythms and Beach Boy/Animal Collective call and response.
Emily, when/where you seeing him?

The Brighton show - 9th November, I think? It's at The Hope, which is a pretty nice venue but very small. Hopefully it'll get a good 'intimate' vibe rather than a 'why does nobody else like El Guincho?' one.

Any excuse for me to charter a train to Brighton. I played a DJ set at the Gladstone only this weekend. May see you there!

Wasn't crazy about him live; still bumping the album

he endeared himself to me live because he wore a sonics (basketball) jersey and talked about how they were his team when he was a kid

This new album is... strange. I'm not too sure of the references, but this has more in common with African Highlife, Zouk and Shaangaan than the slam'n'jam Iberia-in-Ibiza stuff from the first one. It's worryingly close to "World" music (the dubious kind). That said I've only listened once, and should check it out again.

i really love this album. maybe because those "world music" signifiers are more immediately pleasurable to me, but this is pretty much great summer pop music.

saw him play abt two weeks ago, the sound was so so bad that ppl left in droves, sad as was really looking forward to the show, heard the new album is fun but not heard it yet
