/Psychedelia, Latin rhythms, Easy listening, Exotic pop, Crossover, Dance rock, Trop-rock, World music, Funk soul, Tropicàlia, Rockabilly/


Comment: I like the rock`n` roll music and I like to the cha-cha-cha... . After a bunch of mesmerizing issues (Best Of; Exotica; Soul Africa) Juan Naveira aka mrjuan is back with a new catchy brand of latin rhythms, funky soul (and the way round), fine exotic pop, madman dance grooves based on glaringly psychedelic dust-coated organs, some acute hints at jazz experience, afrofuturism (cos he believes in black music), subtle brass-tinged compartments, declaiming spoken word hums, and suggestive singing course definitely pulled out to the front. Though Welcome in the House of F.U.N. represents a cool easy listening way, however, it is all but superficial. In a nutshell, it comes to a mighty drift demonstrating a way how the music (at least emotive sonic crests) should be made up. Indeed, the issue is a masterful bow regarding the 20th anniversary of (Les) Juanitos. By the way, a sequent eminent cover sleeve is represented over here. Moreover, it might be even the best.
