This French salsa band plays music that's Gallic smooth rather than Latin hot, stirring Gypsy elements, North African rao and other ingredients into the Afro-Cuban mix. Leader J.F. "Oscar" Hammel (vocals, maracas and timbales) calls his style "salsaioli"-half salsa, half aioli, the tangy garlic mayonnaise of Hammel's native southern France. The opening "Souris Blanche" jumps right at you, with montuno, chorus and even a rap section, while "Amedee" starts out as a bolero and segues into a cha-cha-cha. --Sule Greg Wilson
