DISPARO (Shot) is Daniel Puente Encina’s first solo album. It contains nine unpublished tracks and an updated cover version of “Botellas contra el pavimento” as a tribute to his very first band LOS PINOCHET BOYS. In the recording studio he is accompanied by Afrocaribean rooted French percussionist Didier Roch from Grenoble. DISPARO is a courageous and respectable production, which impacts with minimalistic arrangement, creating an impressive, powerful sound: An astonishing electric guitar, which seems to have been plucked from the muddy swamps of the Mississippi, accompanied by congas and djembes, and above all, Daniel's charismatic and soulful voice create a progressive, new and exciting style: “Furious Latin Soul”, as he calls his newest creation.
Thrilling music that gets under your skin.
Daniel Puente Encina: “My songs are like a series of short films in which the lyrics are the script the music is the photography. I thought of a Bluesman of the 20s who got lost in Cuba. The album pays homage to black rooted music of the three Americas and clearly demonstrates my profound love and respect for Africa. From R&B to Caribbean Son, from Reggae to Afro-Peruvian 6/8, Mambo and Bolero, accompanied by extraordinary percussion to emphasize the return to the African spirit, launching the music like a rocket from a possible past to an absolutely unexpected future.”
