Euforquestra - Soup Album Review

A friend told me download the album 'Soup' by Euforquestra.....I know Eufro-what is your first reaction......euforia + orchestra = Euforquestra (very creative in my humble opinion). The album is free to download here: http://www.euforquestra.com/ so I thought I should at least take a listen. Now, I'm no professional music critic, but I think they have a unique sound. The first song on the track had a reggae vibe, and reminded me very much of my most recent vacation. So I pondered what genre they considered themselves, and their website states "Afro-Caribbean-Barnyard-Funk” bringing together Afrobeat, Reggae, Afro-Cuban, Samba, Soca, Funk, Salsa, and Dub. I would definitely agree here, as some tracks have a strong reggae vibe, while others have a salsa vibe.

The cd will definitely keep you awake, so quick, if you are falling asleep at your desk - download it - you'll wake right up. I could see the album being good to listen to while on vacation or spending a day at the beach.
