Lex Blondin: I first heard the tune »Mau Mau« on comps, it’s a kind of latin jazz tune with a very wavy clave that’s all over the place rather than doing its job as a syncopated metronome. The clave never bugged me as I just love the looseness it gives to the track. But I remember curating some tracks to be played live by a little Cojunto we put together for a TRC gig, I think it was Jimmy Martinez on bass and Noda on congas …They weren’t too impressed with that clave! The whole album is an absolute gem from start to finish.
