The Latin Project-Lei Lo Lai

[tpj1965]

The Latin Project are the brainchild of Jez Colin and Matt Cooper, a pair of British DJs/remixers/producers who collaborate with various artists from the world of Latin music. Their 2003 track, Lei Lo Lai, which featured Freddie Crespo on vocals, went to #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and was nominated for a Grammy in 2004 for Best Dance Recording.From Wikipedia,

From fiery percussion, keyboard solos, flavorful guitars, joyful trumpets to sub-bass and hard-as-nails beats, these ingredients create the structure for a myriad of styles that incorporate everything from nu-jazz to broken beat, downtempo, dub and ambient moods, all sifted through a Latin-inspired filter.Giant Step

"Lei Lo Lai", is the first song in years with an ounce of soul to beat out the pack of trance anthems and clunky pop remixes usually vying for the dance chart top spot. For another thing, the band behind it is the real deal, a spectacularly effective juggler of house, jazz and various Latin styles by Andy Hermann popmatters.com

Great stuff Thanx for introducing me to this band - this cut's a keeper.

It's is a great cut I found it about a year ago. They are a hard band to place they hit #1 on the Billboard Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart and was nominated for a Grammy in 2004 for Best Dance Recording. but at the same time they have a jazz/acid jazz,world feel. I was confused to where to put them on the board, but the figured the board gods would let me know if my placement for this was correct. If it needs to be moved I am curious to see where they would be placed. To here some of there other music check out there myspace page:THE LATIN PROJECT

You'll find a remix they did for Bebel Gilberto on the page as well, pretty nice.

You could have placed it in the world music forum, but the soul/jazz forum is fine as well
