It doesn't get any cooler than this, and all with one lyric line. What timbales though. And the piano lines, WOW! I've played in various bands, and it was euphoric, but to be onstage playing piano with these cats, would be so, so, so euphoric. Tight band, (that clave is sò catchy), great sound dynamics.
