The new 7-inch single from CENTRAL, one of Japan’s leading salsa bands, is a superb salsa cover of WAR’s 1975 timeless classic “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” (“Wake Up, My Friends”)!!
Starting with the familiar intro faithful to the original song, the track immediately draws you into the world of salsa, followed by a surprising second half—a masterpiece that stands as a message song worthy of widespread sharing, especially in today’s chaotic world. Side A features “Why Can’t We Be Friends?” (sample1). Side B features the smoky, silver-hued Latin jazz-salsa instrumental track “Flor De Roble (7-inch Edit)” (sample2), which also serves as the title track of their debut album.
