With Sofrito, Mongo continues the synthesizer/electric piano-dominated sound typified by Eumir Deodato's records on CTI. The album features fine keyboards and a host of great players. Bata drums are featured on an update of the exotic spiritual "O Mi Shango," but unfortunately, the essence of the song is all but quashed by the slick sound of the mid-'70s. Thankfully, the band manages to resist disco, but the laid-back L.A. synthesizer sound too easily degenerates into boring elevator music. ~ Tony Wilds
