A vibrant fusion of Latin rock, funk, and soul, Evolution is the third studio album from Malo, the genre-blending powerhouse led in part by Jorge Santana, younger brother of Carlos. This 1973 U.S. promotional copy on Warner Bros. comes in a beautiful gatefold sleeve with “Promotion Not For Sale” printed on the labels.

Notable Tracks

“Moving Away” kicks off with a lush, extended groove. The infectious “Dance To My Mambo” and the rhythmic “Merengue” showcase Malo’s Afro-Cuban roots and instrumental prowess. “Street Man” closes the album with a soulful, brass-heavy statement of purpose.
