Buena Vista Social Club
This album is named after a members-only club that was opened in Havana in pre-Castro times, a period of unbelievable musical activity in Cuba.

by
Omara Portuondo & Chucho Valdes
On this 13-track recording of voice and piano duets, there is no doubt from the first note to the last that you are experiencing the complete mastery of two Cuban music legends. Individually, the genius Valdés brings to his instrument, the piano, and the dramatic, bluesy, off-the-cuff singing (in Spanish) of the husky, pitch-perfect, purely ...

The Essential
(2006)
by
Omara Portuondo
While the Buena Vista Social Club album and film gave Omara Portuondo some international exposure in the 1990s, the extensive body of work she recorded for the Cuban market remained little heard outside of her native country. This 32-track, two-CD set presents nearly two hours of those recordings spanning 1959 to 1998, though only two of the ...

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, ...

One of many, many albums that attempt to cover all the bases of Cuban music in a single disc. As with all the others as well, the single disc by itself can never really hope to explore the vast diversity of sound available on the island.
