Description

a fantastic record!!

"Born in Miami to Cuban immigrants, Alpha 606 is a multitalented multi instrumentalist. His innovation is in blending the varied history of Electro, 20th Century Avant Garde and his native Cuban influences, ranging from the ritual music of Santeria to the Afro Cuban highs of 1930's Havana. With this stew of influences, he creates a dense and colorful sound, melding advanced electronics with intricately played live hand drums. His style is the definition of a new sound, known as Electronica Afro-Cubano.

According to Armando Martinez aka Alpha-606 'The name Alpha-606 is a hybrid of Alpha 66, the anti-Castro freedom fighting group, and the Roland TR-606 synthesizer machine. I'm just anti-Castro by myself. But I don't put much effort into it.' And the Miami New Times paper have put it like this;'A futuristic homage to Cuban culture, fusing warm machine tones and crisp bass notes with Afro-Cuban drums.'" -
