BOOM PAM - Puerto Rican Nights

Boom Pam from Israel released a new album on Essay Recordings called “Puerto Rican Nights”. It’s all Israeli boom pam trumpet music with a strong surf guitar in a Klezmer, Gypsy, Jewish, Greek Mediterranean mix-up sound systema style. They have played alongside Bucovina Club DJ Shantel, owner of Essay, and throughout the whole world - in small bars as well as on the biggest festival stages. The “Puerto Rican Nights” bring them back to smash rock stages and wedding parties and to travel the world again. Although I couldn't find out why the album is called "Puerto Rican Nights", because it's not necessarily very Puerto Rican, it has a fresh groove and comes up with some good collaborations. The Israeli singer Tomer Yosef from Balkan Beat Box (NYC)appears on one track and gives it a hint of a mediterranean reggae touch. The album itself is like a cocktail of all the different genres from Tel-Aviv, the whole multi-ethnic mixture. Boom Pam global genre clash in a Dick Dale style!
