Northern Songs In A Southern Style - 'Fab Guiro!' Welcome to 'Fab Guiro!' - the album title is a combination of both the popular british phrase 'Fab Gear' referring to all cool music & lifestyle aspects and issues surrounding the band and also stresses the relation to the percussion instrument 'Guiro' that is an integral instrument, sound and necessity in latin, salsa and especially traditional cuban music. 'Fab Guiro!' is beat music in a fascinating, exotic robe, a drum roll of liverpudlian song pearls. The songs of the Beatles on 'Fab Guiro!' do actually sound like copacabana, cuba and kingston - but always like the english harbour town in the summer - northern songs in a southern style are indeed warm songs, 'Fab Guiro!' simply means lots of fun, entertainment and thus celebrates our heroes. Where the Fab Four work with a guitar solo for example, you will hear a vibe solo on 'Fab Guiro!' and the intense female soul of Majka Edyole, of course with a little spanish accent in her brilliant (english) voice. The spirited lead singer of The Sweet Vandals is THE musical figurehead on this album. 'Fab Guiro!' is a latin american beatles songbook, honors the band as 'mozart's of pop' and really tributes to their classic songs - simply because the coversongs treat the originals manifoldly and full of respect! The interpretations of these beatles tunes do actually gain momentum by partly obsure modalities - so all twelve tunes turn out to be groovy, full of soul and stylish and accord these Lennon / McCartney classics and Harrison's 'Taxman' as new, timeless and post-modern vesture!
