I heard this kick ass Salsa version of Black Sabbath’s Iron Man a few months ago on NPR. Anybody know who does it? I think it’s a compilation of Salsa covers.
I don’t think this particular song was done by the Cardigans, but that band does have a penchant for taking Black Sabbath songs and redoing them in other genres.
Couldn’t tell you, but I did hear a sitar version in an Indian restaurant last year…That was a moment of cognitive disconnect, I should say.
Might it be The Lounge Brigade? I couldn’t find any sound samples, but allmusic.com describes that song as “driven by Cuban-style percussion”, so that might be it.
The Cardigans have indeed covered “Iron Man” – but it’s techno-pop, not even remotely salsa.
Ah, here’s some sound samples at CD Universe.
