Real name: El Super Mini Combo Nacional

Effective period / Period of releases: 2010

A French combo, but one with a very global groove -- a mix of funky styles and Cuban rhythms, served up with a few contemporary touches as well! The sound here is really unique -- sweetly jazzy one minute, and sharper-edged the next -- moving the groove from keyboard-driven funk to more acoustic numbers that draw on an older Latin heritage, with a bit of a Congolese twist -- all wrapped up with a fresh, enthusiastic sound that really sets the group apart. The percussion's especially nice -- and really gives the album a solid, earthy grounding -- and apart from the first track, which has a bit of a hip hop vibe, most of the numbers here feel like lost grooves from both the Cuban and Congo scene of the 70s. Titles include "Mira Flores", "Baila Mi Songo", "Smcn", "Amor Amor", "Mini Congo", "Ohcimini", and "La Boca
