From the Heart [Corason]
(1995)

by
Various Artists
It follows as the night the day that, Corason being a very fine label, this sampler is a very fine compilation. With the exception of tracks from Haiti, Martinique and Jamaica (and one of the better cuts from the rather iffy Belize CD) and one Dominican track, the entire repertoire is drawn from Cuba and Mexico. Which, since this is what Corason ...

Cuarteto Patria
Ochoa and his group have the quality without which all else is conversation: they play the classic son as if they'd just thought of it. Ochoa is a superb guitarist with the true richness of simplicity, and more yet he's a gorgeous singer with the delicately earthy voice that marks the great soneros of the past. This is a phemomenally beautiful ...

Cuarteto Patria & Manu Dibango
This CD opens with a veritable chestnut, the Mexican "Cielito Lindo," played by an African saxophonist and a Cuban son ensemble. The vocals are a bit hokey, yet it works. The idea to get together and record disparate material was born at a gig in France in 1996, and the studio was arranged tout de suite . Dibango plays with restraint, sinuously ...

more music like this
by
Various Artists
Here is an anthology that has been needed for some time. A brief, concise, yet deep and authoritative collection of music that goes further than paying lip service to the Afro-Cuban connection. Here the continental differences are erased in a widespread look at cross-pollination and cultural miscegenation. The great glory of this collection is ...
