Bluesfest: LA-33

I've said it before and I'll say it again: If you want bang for your buck at Bluesfest, check out the world music acts. The fact that billy Talent, Tim Robbins and The Tea Party were the other acts on offer made the decision a bit easier for me (not that there's anything wrong with those folks, mind). As for LA-33, they hail from Bogota, Colombia but apparently groove on the Latin sounds of New York circa the 1970s.

Yes, there will be cowbell.



And there's a lot of them!



Brassy action!



Salsa time!



Now that's stage dancing.



And so on!



The band's official lineup numbers 11, and don't even ask me to say who's who.



Kick it!



Getting on down action!



Ragga action!



A lot of good singers in this combo!



Shakin' action!



Guiro action!



The whole lot!



A pretty fine set.
