Review: La Cocodrila “Coño! (But With A Swing)”

La Cocodrila
“Coño! (But With A Swing)”
Released September 2018

I would like to welcome Deborah “La Cocodrila” De La Torre to our NewGenSalsa family of artists. Let me just get into this excellent production “Coño! (But With A Swing)” which is her debut album and has become part of my daily listening routine. And yes “Coño” I just can’t get enough of this album which features eleven original tracks composed, arranged and performed by Deborah “La De La Torre.

De La Torre, who was born in Miami to Cuban and European parents, has lived in Denver, CO since 2005. Her band includes the following musicians:
Ron Bland (bass)
Thomas A. Blomster (percussion)
Patricia Surman (flute)
Dave DeMichelis (electric guitar)
Randy Runyan (trumpet)
Rodney Farrar (cello)

If you’re a Jazz/latin Jazz lover I strongly recommend that you pick up this CD and add it to your Latin Jazz collection. I provided a sample track “Dulce Y Caliente” which happens to be one of many favorites of mine for your listening pleasure.
