Willie Bobo - Grocerias / Hey, Nena FLAC

The flipside contains and incredibly intense piece, entitled Grocerias (which probably was a bad translation of Groceries), with furious fuzz-wah guitar assaults (ala Jimi Hendrix), non-stop breathless drumming, Doors-ish organ arrangements, tight bass lines, and wonderfully raw vocals. Very catchy and powerful at the same time, it really grips you from the start to finish, and is absolutely infectious. This cut is from the same period as the Lost & Found album (lost master tapes from the early 70s), with the Bo-Gents, compiled by Bobo's son in 2006, and never issued before (and according to D.G.A.: "It's easily some of the funkiest, most hard-hitting Willie Bobo ever recorded -- and why this stuff wasn't issued back in the day is a real mystery to us!. The sound is totally great -- with lots of snapping Latin undercurrents at the bottom of the grooves, and plenty of warmly soulful instrumentation on the top – a bit electric, with lots of guitar and some keyboards", "Great work throughout – a real lost treasure, and some of the funkiest work by Willie you'll ever hope to find!"). These two specific tracks were never officially included on any album at that time in USA, and for some incredible and unknown reason, they were released in Argentina only. Grocerias, is probably the heaviest, funkiest and wildest track ever recorded by Bobo, only available in this awesome B-side (not even included on Lost & Found).
