Alejandro Bravo - Alejandro Bravo [Natural w/ Blue Swirl Vinyl LP]

Private Mexican lounge that still burns long after the cruise ship disembarks. Armed with a single nylon string guitar, a toy chest of rudimentary percussion, and the emotional microtones of the Spanish tongue, Alejandro Bravo's lone LP blends bossa nova, samba, and the Brill Building into a warm, easygoing sound built for the tourist class.

Recorded at home in Acapulco in 1971, Bravo's self-released LP slaps and thrills with its taps and trills, a private-press curiosity now reissued by Numero Group.
