WELL, FUNK ME HARD Just one listen, and this Latin-flavored funk jazz party had me hooked. “Again, again!” my party-depleted inner child screamed. “Mendó,” as performer, arranger, producer, composer, instrumentalist, Cuban Canadian Alex Cuba writes, “is the substance of the soul.” And this produced-during-pandemic soulfest proves that.
