Israel based bassist - singer and master conguero-vocalist Abraham Rodriguez Jr., brim with tunefulness, grooves, warmth, indelible melodies and the bonds of brotherhood to summon Yoruba gods. In Yoruba lore, Iroko is a complicated symbol-a troll inhabiting the top branches of a tree called Inchthe throne of god,Inch guarded against lest he come to earth, be seen and drive men mad. But Iroko, the French naïve tag's unique by singer-bassist Avishai Cohen and conguero-vocalist Abraham Rodriguez Jr., brims with tunefulness, grooves and warmth. It has deep roots in esoteric religion and popular song, and comes naturally from these 30-year cross-cultural collaborators who ward off trouble, united in musical spirit. The album is the 20th for prodigious Israel-based composer-performer Cohen, but just the third project out-front for Rodriguez, a self-described Nuyorican, Santeria-adept and doowop-batarumba king, though he's added his secret sauce for decades to the best Latin New York recordings. It's as soulful as a streetcorner serenade in Spanish Harlem. Appeals to the Yoruba orishas flow among reappraising versions of James Brown's InchIt's a Man's World,Inch the 1960 Academy Award-winner InchTheme to Exodus,Inch and Sinatra-associated InchFly Me To the Moon.Inch Everything's grounded in the propulsive clavé rhythm that underlies virtually all Afro-Caribbean-derived music (jazz included), as Rodriguez's hand-drumming locks in syncopation with Cohen's irresistible bass patterns, and their voices blend like those of true friends.
