The album Pulga Española Tijuana Taxi by Herb Alpert's Tijuana Brass is a delightful and upbeat collection of Latin-inspired music. From the first track, "Pulga Española," listeners are transported to a lively street market in Spain, with its bustling energy and bright colors. The use of brass instruments, percussion, and guitar creates a rich and layered sound that is both lively and sophisticated.
One standout track is "Tijuana Taxi," which features a catchy trumpet melody and a driving beat that is impossible not to tap your feet to. Other highlights include "El Presidente," which has a more laid-back, romantic feel, and "Acapulco 1922," which features a sweeping, cinematic quality.
