Manos [LP]

The Rada's Old Boys - Manos [LP]

Blending Afro-Uruguayan traditions with rock, soul, jazz, and funk, Ruben Rada has shaped the music of Uruguay and Argentina from the 1960s to the present day. Throughout his career, he has consistently been surrounded by talented musicians who have been integral to his sound. This was especially true with Daniel ''Lobito'' Lagarde, bassist and founding member of the iconic band Totem in the early 1970s; Ricardo Nole, keyboardist, arranger, and musical director of Rada's band in Argentina during the 1980s; and Nelson Cedrez, the drummer who has been by Rada's side since the 1990s. In 2016, these three musicians reunited to form Rada's Old Boys, releasing an album of jazz-infused reinterpretations of Rada's songs that earned rave reviews. Now, they return with Manos, a bold new album that reimagines Rada's works from every phase of his career, featuring deeply personal renditions and a special guest appearance from Rada himself on one track.
