Produced by Scott Brown Copyright 1996-2001
Recorded at Ex'pression, Emeryville, CA and Hyde Street Studios, San Francisco, CA between September 2000 & June 2001. Sound Engineers: From Ex'pression, Garrett Hays. From Hyde St., Gabriel Shepard and Andrew Willshuser. Mastered by John Greenham at Paul Stubblebine Mastering, San Francisco, CA August 15, 2001 Released 11/12/2001 Scott Brown bucked the San Francisco Salsa Scene trends of the time (mid- 90’s Salsa Romantica) by performing Salsa Classica or Salsa Dura at many of the scene’s clubs at the time. The bands’ only release in their 10 year career (1993-2003), the 2001 self-titled, ‘Surco Nuevo’, confirmed their dedication to the Salsa Dura that it now currently back in demand. Reviews at the time: “Excellent debut release by this San Francisco based salsa band that owes much debt to the classic salsa of the ‘70’s. Leader and cuatro player Scott Brown does a fine job in resurrecting the feel of the rootsy urban sound of, say, the Willie Colon/Hector Lavoe band which featured the much respected cuatro player Yomo Toro. The best tracks are smoking, and would be just fine for the dance floor ” – Editor’s Pick, Descarga.com, 2002 “Very danceable and has a 70’s salsa swing.” – Combo Records, 2002 “This recording has a nice homemade feel about it with a lovely Cuatro sound by all-round leading man and producer Scott Brown.” – Chacal, New York City Correspondant for SalsaUk, 12/16/2002. |
