The Cabildos Cross Fire

The Cabildos are among the most mysterious 70s library music authors: we only know that they took their name from Johnny Cabildo, an Italian keyboardist and composer living in Florida, and that they released a total of only three albums: “Yuxtaposición” (1972, under the name Cabildo’s Three), this second LP “Cross Fire” (1974) and the latter “Where Is the Cat?” (1979). The Cabildos’ compositions were all instrumental and full of groove, imbued with Latin sounds, funk and fusion, often further enriched by afro/tribal percussion. Originally made to be used in films, documentaries and advertising, they therefore deserve to be associated with the synchronization field. “Cross Fire” stands out especially for its remarkable sonic diversity, made possible with the sole use of bass, drums and keyboards. An excellent record, reissued by Redi Edizioni on clear red vinyl, with a faithful reproduction of the original artwork.
