My Puerto Rican Roots

Large Music LAR096 October 26, 2004

Producer and DJ extraordinaire Eddie Matos returns to Large Music to explore his musical influences with My Puerto Rican Roots EP. Brimming with elegant keys and Latin-inspired rhythms, this exclusive collection explores the influence that Salsa, Meringue, and Cuban Jazz once had on Eddie while growing up on the lower East Side of New York City. Side A starts with Latinism- an upbeat and glorious track laced with familiar riffs and soaring horns. Oye La Musica follows in style with heavy percussion and brilliant piano work. The EP is complete with the laid back vibe of Relax your Mind and a Masters at Work style dub.
