Album Review: JANE BUNNETT AND MAQUEQUE - On Firm Ground / Tierra Firme

Get ready to embark on a musical journey with JANE BUNNETT AND MAQUEQUE's latest album, "On Firm Ground / Tierra Firme." This Cuban-Canadian fusion group has once again proven their ability to bring the heat and keep listeners on their toes.

From the moment you press play, you're transported to a world where infectious rhythms and soulful melodies collide in perfect harmony. The album kicks off with the energetic track "La Linea," setting the tone for what's to come. The musicianship on display is truly awe-inspiring, with each member of Maqueque bringing their A-game to the table.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "A View from Above," a hauntingly beautiful piece that showcases the band's incredible chemistry and emotional depth. The interplay between Bunnett's soaring saxophone and the band's tight percussion section is simply mesmerising.

However, it's not all serious business with JANE BUNNETT AND MAQUEQUE. Tracks like "Agua Furiosa" and "Travesia" bring a playful and fun element to the album, reminding listeners that music is all about joy and connection.

Overall, "On Firm Ground / Tierra Firme" is a triumph for JANE BUNNETT AND MAQUEQUE. It's a bold and adventurous album that pushes boundaries and defies expectations. So go ahead, turn up the volume and let yourself get lost in the mesmerising world of Maqueque. Trust us, you won't regret it.
