DGA 3006CD
"First time on CD for the tripped-out Latin classic from the '70s -- a huge global hit for the Belgian group Chakachas, and used in countless soundtracks and hip-hop samples over the years.
Jungle Fever
is probably best remembered for its title hit -- a mad bit of funk with pounding drums, heavy breaks, and some of the sexiest mutterings ever set to wax. But the rest of the album is equally great, too -- and offers a slightly different take on Latin music than you might get from a U.S. group at the time. Rhythms are bold, horn parts are odd, and the vocals sometimes come across more like an instrument than a singer -- snapped in the groove with a real sense of tightness that goes way beyond language. Euro funk maestro Nico Gomez penned a few tunes for the set -- and the album's an instant party from the get-go!"
