more music like this
by
Trio Yagua
Before Afro-Cuban music was embraced by Puerto Ricans and came to be called salsa -- before Beny More, Tito Puente, Machito, Xavier Cugat and Tito Rodriguez led large dance orchestras -- Cuba was known for the trova. Playing an abundance of ballads, Cuban trovadores favored simplicity and went for small, minimalist groups. Some of the early ...

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 ...

Luis Frank Presents Soneros de Verdad
This album might have been made to jump on the Buena Vista Social Club bandwagon, but it's one of those rare imitations that takes on a life of its own. Singer Luis Frank, the mastermind behind it, is a young vocalist with a big voice and a love of the older music. And though, for the most part, these aren't old songs, but new ones dressed up in ...

Nico Saquito
Saquito was the driving force of the great son trio Los Guaracheros de Oriente. He last recorded in 1982, backed by some truly wonderful string-picking. His voice had faded slightly -- after all, he was in his 80s. But both he and his backup have a rarely surpassed charm and flair. Down-home without raunch, masterly without flash, this is some ...

These early records from four sextetos range from the illustrious Nacional and Boloña to the equally fine but less known Matancero (led by the great Isaac Oviedo), and Occidente -- a rarity in that one of its lead singers was a woman.
