Review by Jason Ankeny
Hey! Let's Party represents one of percussionist Mongo Santamaria's first and most engaging plunges into the world of contemporary pop, galvanizing well-known chart smashes with the energy and abandon of Latin soul. It's a simple formula that proved remarkably successful and flexible across a series of likeminded LPs -- Santamaria approaches texts like "Walk on By" and "I Got You (I Feel Good)" with deep respect and understanding, creating soulful, righteous rhythms that snake in and out of the original melodies with brilliant precision. Even battered warhorses like Glenn Miller's "In the Mood" breathe new life, proving Santamaria's uncanny capacity for making the familiar funky.

Reseña de Jason Ankeny
Hey! Let's Party representa una de las primeras y más atractivas inmersiones del percusionista Mongo Santamaría en el mundo del pop contemporáneo, galvanizando éxitos conocidos con la energía y el abandono del soul latino. Es una fórmula simple que resultó notablemente exitosa y flexible en una serie de LP con ideas afines: Santamaria aborda textos como "Walk on By" y "I Got You (I Feel Good)" con profundo respeto y comprensión, creando ritmos conmovedores y rectos que serpentean dentro y fuera de las melodías originales con brillante precisión. Incluso caballos de guerra maltratados como "In the Mood" de Glenn Miller respiran nueva vida, lo que demuestra la extraña capacidad de Santamaría para hacer que lo familiar sea funky.
