Music reviews of Cuba Linda

Music Review: Great album - a continuation of his 'Master Sessions'
Rating: 5 Stars

This is a great album from the guy who invented Mambo. 'Cuba Linda' is a logical progression on the 'Master Sessions' albums. This album has a different feel than the 'Master Sessions' albums - a little more spontaneous and lively. 'Cuba Linda' is a bit more upbeat - Cachao plays everything from Danzon, ChaChaCha, Abakua, Son, among others. The musicians are great, masters from Luis Conte to Orestes Vilato join Cachao. I also recommend 'Dos', 'Descargando', 'Master Sessions, Vol. 1 & 2'. In fact, anything from Cachao is well worth investing.

Description of Cuba Linda

Octogenarian Cuban legend Israel "Cachao" Lopez returns with Cuba Linda, another five-star album produced by actor Andy Garcia, who did the same for the earlier Master Sessions volumes one and two. Bassist-composer Cachao leads an outfit that near-magically blends subtlety and power; anyone with an ear for this meld of mambo, son, and other classic styles will be hooked within the first two cuts. "Goza Mi Mambo Cubano" ("Rejoice with My Cuban Mambo") hits its height with a flurry of percussive devices midway through, while the lyrics of "A Francisquita le Gusta el Cusube" ("Francisquita Loves the Cusube") turn on playful sex/food metaphors as trumpeter Feliciano "Pachu" Gomez unleashes some mighty wails. It's also easy to appreciate how the band rips through "Bailalo Si Puedes" before leaning into a tropical take on Rhapsody in Blue: Cuba Linda's melange of textures, rhythms, and unique soloists is indeed in the Ellingtonian tradition the disc's liner notes claim for Cachao. --Rickey Wright
