After a busy year last year, Nestor Alvarez delivers more Latin 45 heat at the start of ’21. And when I say Nestor Alvarez, I mean, of course, Neil Anderson – head honcho at Original Gravity Records for whom ‘Nestor Alvarez’ is merely one of multiple noms-de-plumes! Naturally, uptempo Latin funk instro A-side, Llamar A los Bomberos, is so caliente with its flute-led antics of percussive and percussive layers that there’ll be every reason to call the Fire Brigade once it is unleashed on the wheels of steel. Having said that, the organ-drenched reverse on this rightly double A-sided disc – Carlos Papas Grandes – proves equally incendiary, getting a proper slink on and dropping in horns too, just to make sure everybody knows who Mr Big Potatoes is!
