This is one of those records that sneaks into the room, leans back against the wall, and slowly drags on a cigarette while all the other records clamor for attention in the center of the room. No hype, no hurry.

This record was released early last year while Abraham Boba was playing in Nacho Vegas' "La zona sucia" band. Like any top shelf member of another man's band, Boba sat back, that always reliable dude behind the keys that he is, and let Nacho do his thing, the star of the show.

Meanwhile, Boba and his record will be over there in the shadows waiting for you. Come over if you're intrigued, and it's cool if you're not. They're good either way.
