ˇCubanismo!
As the title suggests, Cubanismo's third album is a reincarnation of sorts, with several new band members and an even greater variety of musical stylings explored. One thing that hasn't changed is the almost tangible intensity and excitement that Jesus Alemany and company bring to every song, whether a traditional Cuban number originally performed ...

Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party
(2005)
more music like this
by
Various Artists
Putumayo Presents: Afro-Latin Party might give the idea of frantic, sweaty rhythms, and mambos and salsas at hyperspeed. Instead, this collection focuses more on the genre called son, with some low-key salsa and rumba thrown in for good measure. Africando, the superstar band made up of West African and Latin musicians, claims most of the honors, ...

Rubén González
While perhaps a little bit more rambling and less focused than his American solo debut Introducing Ruben Gonzalez, this album nonetheless presents some lush piano arrangements supported by mellow Cuban percussion. Gonzalez is an extremely fluid player and his sometimes complex improvisations seem to constantly come off without a hitch, which is ...

Ibrahim Ferrer, the "official" lead vocalist of Buena Vista Social Club, and producer Ry Cooder take numerous chances and many labyrinthine journeys (guaranteed to piss off all of the purists) on their third collaboration for the World Circuit/Nonesuch label, yet manage to come up with the most beautiful fruit of their collaborative efforts to ...

This second edition of the guide comes eight years after the first, and salsa has come a long way in that time. Pulling from various Latin styles, it all came together in New York before going international -- Congo-based Kékélé do salsa in beautiful graceful style, showing how the influences moved back and forth between continents.

more music like this
by
Eliades Ochoa
One of the most talented members of the Buena Vista Social Club project, Eliades Ochoa was slower to gain wider recognition outside of Cuba after the project than Ibrahim Ferrer or Ruben Gonzalez, which is a shame because while his campesino style may not be as polished as some of the more urban traditions of his contemporaries, his guitar ...

Sierra Maestra
Son might be a bit of a catch-all name for many of the Cuban styles, but there's no doubt it's completely associated with Cuba. What Sierra Maestra offer on this album is a brief history of son, with big songs from such classic composers as Beny Moré and Arsenio Rodriguez. As is apparent from the glorious resonance of the tres on the opening "El ...

Pedro Luis Ferrer
The Cuban singer and songwriter Pedro Luis Ferrer lives and works in an interesting sort of artistic twilight zone. Unlike most of his colleagues (some of whom were jailed in 2004 on charges of political dissidence), he has been able to write and sing his mildly critical political songs without serious repercussion -- yet. He is even allowed to ...

The Very Best of ˇCubanismo!: ˇMucho Gusto!

ˇCubanismo! might have started a year before the Buena Vista Social Club phenomenon, but there's no doubt the latter -- in addition to constant touring -- has helped them break through to real success. There's little that's revolutionary about Jesús Alemańy's Cuban blend, as it harks bark heavily to both the dance music of the '40s and '50s, as ...

Whether it bursts onto the sidewalk from a bustling café or wafts over high-stone walls from a carnival parade blocks away, music in Cuba is omnipresent and multi-faceted. Cubalive!: Recorded Live in Cuba culls its 13 tracks from the three previously released volumes of Rounder's Routes of Rhythm series. So, while it's technically volume four, it ...

To the average North American listener, the distinctions between trova, sones, guarachas, and guajiras may not be worth drawing. Apparently Eliades Ochoa -- who was previously featured on the wildly popular Buena Vista Social Club album -- is a master of all these Cuban pop music genres, and this collection touches on all of them.

Concord Jazz did a smashing job on Hot Hands of reissuing two stellar yet under-the-radar Latin jazz albums by Ray Barretto's New World Spirit ensemble of the 1990s. Hot Hands consists of Ancestral Messages, first released in 1993, and Taboo, which was issued the following year. The connection between the two albums goes deeper than chronology. ...

Post-revolutionary Cuba isn't the first place to look for the influence of American funk and psychedelic experimentation, but Dan Zacks of the Waxing Deep radio show makes the case -- with the music he selects here and his informed liner notes -- that Cuba produced its fair share of free-form music in the '70s and '80s. Zacks sets the story in a ...
