I am really not a timba fan at all, truth be told. Maybe I'm just not ready for it, but I must say the treatment that Gardel is giving on the above tune is nice and juicy. Out of all the bands in the NC area (and there isn't much), Orquesta Gardel is the standout in terms of energy, precision, and dedication. These guys practice tirelessly, and travel extensively in efforts to bring the people some real quality funk .
