Los Granadians

Los Granadians - El Temperamental Sonidode - Liquidator Music 2004 (Spain)

Lively local band from Granada, pumping out ska and funk and getting a good bit of work around the country and further afield. Good luck to them. I'm liking this one - Teddy Dos Dedos Garcia - because of its bright organ playing and general upward motion. I can picture the lads having a bit of fun with this in the studio and live gigs. For DJing in the abstract it get's the pseudo-funk crowd going and lifts a room marvelously - quite like Bobby Shad's version of I Want You Back or a good "Blow Up" style KPM track, together with the same moog swooshes in parts. The rest of the album stands up better in some places than others, with some winning "boss sound" reggae numbers similar to the Upsetters seventies work on Camel. Seems like the album failed to take internationally.
