Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

Turning the covers album concept on its head, Rhythms del Mundo: Cuba doesn't set a varied group of northern artists loose on the music made famous by the Buena Vista Social Club, but instead sets the Club's members lose on the northerners' own songs. Now that's an inspired idea, and all to aid charities assisting the victims of natural disasters ...

Tremenda Rumba! [Ahi-nama] (2002) more music like this

by Maraca

When there is an artist whose entire body of work is head and shoulders above that of his peers, how does one choose that artist's finest work? Who can say what is the best from the best? This is a hard question to answer until that work is staring you in the face in all of its lush, swinging, funky glory. Maraca could be the hippest group coming ...

Today (2001) more music like this

by Raul Malo

From the start, it was obvious that the Mavericks were comprised of a more interesting variety of flavors than most C&W hitmakers, and by the time they released Trampoline in 1998, the band had evolved from an eclectic country-accented outfit into an adventurous adult pop group willing to dip their toes into practically anything. So it shouldn't ...

Valio la Pena [CD #1] (2004) more music like this

by Marc Anthony

If there's anything made clear by the growing number of albums by Latin artists that are conceived with mainstream English-speaking audiences in mind, it's that something essential gets lost in translation. There's no doubt that the reigning king of Nuyoriquen salsa, Marc Anthony, has the musical chops and vocal talent to churn out hits regardless ...

The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer (2006) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

First things first: The Essential Ibrahim Ferrer is not a hastily assembled, dodgy collection of questionable sound and material designed to cash in on the man's name and legend. Manteca's Cuban Legends series has regularly compiled retrospectives of different artist's works (see the The Essential Compay Segundo volume), paying careful ...

Real World (2000) more music like this

by X Alfonso

If a singer or musician records in Cuba, he/she isn't necessarily providing salsa and Afro-Cuban music. Cuba is best known for the music that came to be termed salsa (a convenient umbrella term for everything from son and cha-cha to mambo, danzón, and guaguanco), but it also has its share of Latin popsters -- one of whom is X Alfonso. After making ...

Ay, Candela (2005) more music like this

by Ibrahim Ferrer

Ay Candela is the most interesting and compelling kind of compilation recording. Not merely a hastily packaged rehash meant to cash in on a vital artist's current reputation: It is, in essence, a history of the singer and his time, his pattern of travel through Cuba's street fairs, small-time recording studios, night clubs, and finally to the ...

by Ochun

New York based dance band Ochun (named for the goddess of love in Cuban folkore) released this record, their 2005 self-titled debut after years on the New York club circuit. Straight, uncut son seems to be the order of the day for so many groups performing Cuban music both Stateside and on the Continent, and Ochun is no exception. With danzon, ...

For all asking the question, "Who will lead Cuban music into the new millennium?" Orlando "Maraca" Valle has an answer. With the 2005 release of Soy Yo, Maraca boldly maintains their status as one of the very finest and most cutting-edge groups to come out of Cuba. Alongside Issac Delgado and David Calzado y Su Charanga Habanera, Maraca stays on ...

by Pablo Menendez

It isn't hard to understand why Pablo Menéndez calls his band Mezcla, which means "mixture" in Spanish. The California-born guitarist (who has spent much of his life in Havana, Cuba) isn't afraid to combine different styles of music, and that is exactly what happens on Havana Blues Mambo (the first album released under Menéndez' own name). This is ...

Café Cubana [Metro] (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Metro's world and Latin music compilations vary widely in quality. Some of them feature few or no original versions of the songs they collect, substituting cookie-cutter re-recordings that only give a feeling of what the music is like, instead of presenting the authentic music of the place the album supposedly celebrates. Café Cubana, fortunately, ...

Based in Santiago instead of the relatively urbane Havana, the loose musicians collective Club Musical Oriente Cuba emphasized the traditional roots of the Cuban song for their debut, Caña, Tabaco y Ron. On the first three tracks, the group -- over two dozen strong -- focuses on material by Cuban legends including Sexteto Habañero, Beny Moré, Ñico ...

Musical contributors present include Daniel ...

Que Linda Es Mi Cuba (2006) more music like this

by Saborit

The Cuban campesino band that calls itself Saborit today actually began in the '80s as Grupo Eduardo Saborit in honor of Eduardo Saborit, the late composer of "Que Linda Es Mi Cuba," the song after which this album is titled. One of the most fondly remembered anthems of the Cuban revolution, it does not, ironically, appear on this recording. Nor ...
