Chakachas - Eso Es El Amor
Review by Phidelis Adams
Eso Es El Amor, the album by Chakachas, is a vibrant and energetic collection of Latin American music. The band's unique blend of funk, soul, and traditional Latin rhythms creates a lively and infectious sound that is sure to get listeners moving.
The album's title track, "Eso Es El Amor," is a standout with its catchy melody and upbeat tempo. Other highlights include "Candela," a lively salsa tune with a driving horn section, and "Un Rayo Del Sol," a sultry ballad with a Latin jazz feel.
The band's musicianship is top-notch throughout the album, with tight arrangements and dynamic performances from all members. The vocals are also impressive, with lead singer Kari Kenton delivering passionate and soulful performances on every track.

About Chakachas
Belgian based group of Latin soul and Afro Cuban studio musicians, founded in 1958 by bandleader aka (percussion) featuring Kari Kenton (vocals) from Cuba; (saxophone) a Dutchman from Liege; (trumpet); (piano); (guitar and backing vocals) and (bass guitar).
Most of them were native to Schaarbeek (a district of Brussels), or nearby Charleroi, Willebroek and Liège.
After a musical eclipse in the mid-sixties, the band is reassembled a few years later, in a new line-up and with a different sound; this time, the band's made up of session musicians, who are also part of other bands or projects (see also , , , , ). The new Chakachas go for a mix of Latin/Soul/Funk/Jazz/Afro. The bulk of the songs is provided by and . Their biggest hit will be "Jungle Fever" (1970).

The cartoon footage comes from a 1932 RKO cartoon titled "A Spanish Twist." The Mutt-and-Jeff-type characters were named Tom and Jerry.

There is a good song by the mars volta called L'Via L'Viaquez that I now think was based or at least inspired by this song (this is my first time hearing the chakachas) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg6svO2AQHw (start it at 2:12 to see similarities)
