| "As Le Spam, Andrew Yeomanson, not only throws down rare Latin grooves; he erects the sonic scaffolding for a cosmic conversation among guitar, saxophone, conga, flute, horn, your mind, your ass, and your feet. The musical expression of Miami's promiscuous cultures all had to come together somehow; but it took someone of Yoemanson's synthesizing genius to make it all come together so good.
