Review by uHAPS New Orleans

Barrio Uprising is a compelling album that showcases the vibrant and diverse sounds of Latin American music. Featuring a collection of tracks from various artists, this album offers a unique blend of traditional rhythms and contemporary beats that will keep listeners grooving from start to finish.

The album kicks off with the upbeat and infectious "La Rumba Me Llamo Yo" by Los Muñequitos de Matanzas, setting the tone for the rest of the tracks to follow. From the sultry vocals of Lila Downs on "La Llorona" to the salsa-infused "La Coqueta" by Orquesta Broadway, each song offers a different flavor of Latin American music.

One standout track on the album is "Cumbia Sobre el Río" by Celso Piña, which incorporates traditional Colombian cumbia with modern electronic elements. The result is a dynamic and captivating track that perfectly captures the essence of the album's theme of cultural uprising.
