Decca Reviewed 2003-05-14 | ||
Recorded live in venues a diverse as restaurants, street jams, and private houses, this collection serves as a nice sample of what Cuban music is like outside of formal clubs. The songs are a good cross-section of contemporary sons, but overall the collection is hampered by muffled sound quality due to location recording. 1. Horn & vocal-driven son. 2. Cool percussion, but the vocals are muffled. 3. A big, brash, brassy dance.. *4. A relaxed swing. *5. Guantanemera w/a nice live audience feel. *6. Lively perc/flute/vocals. 7. Mid-tempo w/male vocals. A bit more fuzzy. 8. Percussion, street chorus, Afro-Cuban feel. *9. Mid-tempo w/a playful air. 10. Relaxed & swaying. 11. Down-tempo strings, perc, vox. 12. Whiny vocals, horns, perc. Uptempo. *13. Carnival music w/sound of the parade going by. 5/03 |
