Music reviews of Cuban Originals
Music Review: Memories from the past - priceless
Rating: 4 Stars
This CD has all of the music that brings me back memories from my youth.
Not only do I enjoy it when I play it in my backyard the neighbors ask me to higher the volume. It's great dancing, fun music.
Description of Cuban Originals
The violin is an instrument few people would associate with Cuban music. Yet, beginning in the 1940s, Orquesta Aragon made massed fiddles synonymous with a dance-music style called charanga, which added a dose of urban sophistication to the more pastoral, flute-led danzon genre. Orquesta Aragon rode a gliding, polished sound based on the interplay between the string section and the effervescent flute of Richard Eg?es, more recently heard backing Senegalese singer Cheik L? on his breakaway disc, Bambay Gueej. Though charanga would seem to be at odds with tougher, more rhythmically charged Cuban dance music, the Orquesta put the mambo-derived cha-cha on the map with Eg?es's composition "El Boduguero," which Nat "King" Cole later took to the top of the American charts. Famous members of this world-class ensemble include Rafael Lay, who arranged the songs with Eg?es, and Buena Vista Social Club alumnus Pio Leyva. The band remains together, but this disc traces the glory days of the late 1940s to the early 1950s. --Bob Tarte.General CDs
