The Latin Project

Taking notes from such successful interpreters of the blend of South American and Western sound as Jazzanova, Incognito and Masters At Work, The Latin Project owe as much to those entities as they do to the classic works of Milton Nacimiento and Sergio Mendez. On their debut artist album for Electric Monkey Records, Nueva Musica, The Latin Project--English natives Jez Colin and Matt Cooper--exercise their knowledge of underground, cutting edge dance music, while enhancing it with organic components such as warm vocals and traditional musicians.
