Patos Salvajes, the album by Roy Budd and his orchestra, is a captivating musical journey that takes the listener on a wild ride through the sounds of Latin America. The album features a variety of Latin rhythms, from the lively beats of salsa and mambo to the more laid-back grooves of bossa nova and samba.
Budd's arrangements are masterful, blending traditional Latin instruments such as congas, bongos, and timbales with the lush sounds of a full orchestra. The result is a rich, vibrant sound that is both energetic and sophisticated.
The album's standout tracks include "Patos Salvajes," a lively mambo that showcases the orchestra's tight rhythm section and soaring brass section, and "El Cumbanchero," a classic salsa number that features a blistering horn solo.
