A jewel like the album “Frank y sus Inquietos” hides surprises, themes that mix genres with freedom and creativity but, above all, spontaneity. And it is that the Inquietos when they got together in La Silsa they carried their instruments, their illusions, their flavor and unleashed all the Afro-Caribbean inspiration that had invaded the Venezuelan capital at the end of the sixties, it was a popular revolution in the history of music.
“Rumba de Salón” alternates with total clairvoyance the most primitive and raw salsa, almost improvised concert in a living room, alive, energetic, imbued with humanity and elements of rhythmic typical of Bugalú, which suddenly gives a sophisticated air, almost ironic and accelerated. Energy is all that matters, it is overwhelming, but that's how salsa had to feel in its early years, that's how it ignited, like a discharge of fire and aggressive Latin rhythms that you can't resist. “Frank y sus Inquietos” did not stop rehearsing this song and adding arrangements to it until just before recording it, in which they became better and better as a group but without sacrificing a bit of that spontaneity that had united them. Without a doubt, the salsa fire ran through the veins of the neighborhoods of the thriving Caracas.
