Fort Knox Recordings is proud to present “Sabor Tropical”, the debut album from The Empresarios. Sabor Tropical combines latin funk, cumbia, dub and reggaeton on a groove tip.

That shows through on this 15-track album, with a lot of solid cuts and a few outstanding ones, most notably the Latin funky title track and the reggaeton-cumbia banger “Negrita Linda.” This record will be coming out from my DJ bag often in the near future” – Darek Beres Big Shot Magazine: “Combining Latin funk, cumbia, dub and reggaeton, Sabor Tropical is oozing with, er, sabor.” Inside World Music: “The Washington, D.C.-based band of modern Latin-funk is hitting the streets with the most impressive dance beats, trip hop rhythms, and dub-step on the market today. The Latin grooves border on jazz styles that heat up any occasion or mood…. All in all, a good mix of vocals, modern sounds, and eclectic sounds paved by earlier artists, notably Nortec Collective, make Sabor Tropical an unforgettable release to start the new year and cause a January thaw wherever it is played. ~ Matthew Forss Culture Remixed: “I didn’t know all that much about Empresarios before diving into their record. The album title definitely suggests a Latin influence on the record. Through the album I have realized that the band has a very open ear to music from all different corners of the world. Euromodels The success of Sabor Tropical is the ability of Empresarios to put their own stamp on the music flowing through their radar.”
