Cuban Cowboys release Diablo Mambo today

The Cuban Cowboys are muy interesante and I have no objections to their self-propagated origin being described as the “bastard love-child of Ricky Ricardo and Tom Waits.”  Their new album, Diablo Mambo, encompasses all from storytelling to danceable rhythms to punk-influenced guitar to comedy.  Hialeah Jorge, vocalist and guitarist, delivers tales about abuse and castration in the song “Cajones” all while keeping a delightful smile on his face.  Whereas “Liberace Afternoon” is a deliriously pleasing tune with the catchiest chorus I’ve heard in a while.  If only I knew what he was saying…
