Luis Vecchio

Afro-Rock is the debut album by Argentine keyboardist Luis Vecchio, later resident of the Canary Islands. Recorded for the sound library label DeWolfe, the album is frequently mentioned in hushed reverence among the beat digger DJ collecting crowd. And it's easy to see why, given its massive brass charts, funky bass lines, fluttering flute, choppy organ, and additional hand tribal percussion.

Unlike most incidental film music, Afro-Rock works more like a regular instrumental album and isn't just a disparate bit of sounds and rhythms. Each song can hold its own, and is definitely positioned well for repeated listens.
