Testimonials:
Lights Out, by percussionist Chacho Ramirez's new quintet MetroTang, pulsates with the heartbeat of urban Latin music. Combining salsa and jazz with his Cuban roots, Chacho has created a contemporary sound that expresses today's cultural milieu. Whether for listening, dancing or partying, this CD should be in everyone's collection." --Hal Galper
“The CD sounds fabulous! Great writing and playing by everyone! Good show!" --Richie Vitale
“Chacho Ramirez's CD Lights Out impresses in every way - from the grooving bass lines to the fantastically interwoven rhythms and exciting solos. Recorded sonically with the utmost clarity, even after repeated listening I couldn't get enough of this recording. There is magic around every corner in this sparkling tapestry. Here lies the arrival of a premiere composer, arranger, bandleader and percussionist of the highest caliber. Don't miss this CD--it will not disappoint." --Sarah Jane Cion, Winner of the 1999 Great American Jazz Piano Competition and author of Modern Jazz Piano
“I put the CD in my car and I almost ran off the side of the road. These tunes are all catchy, with all kinds of nice surprises along the way. Love it!" --Reid Jorgensen, Jazz drummer, Ron Gill Quintet
