Grupo Los Yoyi - Yoyi (Obi-strip)
To launch Mr Bongo's new Cuban Classic Series, we are thrilled to present
this sought-after, psychedelic-funk masterpiece
A fusion of traditional Latin and Afro-Cuban rhythms meets disco, jazz, and funk,
with hints of 70s soundtrack productions, this much-loved cult album featuring
nine predominantly instrumental tracks is a real treasure that deserves a much
wider appreciation. One look at the trippy artwork and you know it is going to be
special.
Originally released in 1977 on Areito Records, a sub-label of the state-owned label
Egrem, it has become one of the rarest (even in Cuba) and most in- demand
albums to come from the label. It is the sole album from Grupo Los Yoyi and was
composed, orchestrated, and produced by the mysterious, Jorge Soler Leo.
