Whilst Nasser performs many of the instruments (as is usual with Bongolian albums) on the album, it also features a prominent use of additional UK musicians on brass duties. These include Terry Edwards (Trumpet, Trombone, Sax, Flute), Gareth James Bailey (Trombone) and Craig Crofton (Alto Sax), James Morton (Alto Sax), Andrew Ross (Tenor and Baritone sax) and Ralph Lamb (Trumpet).<\/p>\n<p>From the East Side to the West Side, get ready for the Harlem Hipshake.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nasser Bouzida vividly brings to life the sounds, the vibes and the grooves of classic Nuyorican boogaloo&#8221; &#8211; Graham Bent, Shindig!
