Music reviews of Cafe Cubano
Music Review: A Musical Mojito
Rating: 5 Stars
Putumayo's "Cafe Cubano" is the latest in the world music's cafe series,and so far,the best. While Italian&French Cafe are bland collections, the Cuban one is a savory blend of old and new music. The compilation is like a mojito-a cold limeade with the extra kick of rum. There's even a recipe--a mojito dipping sauce made with lime,lemon&orange juices.
"Cafe Cubano" opens with Jose Conde y Ola Fresca's "El Chacal",a jazzy critique of Che Guevara. Conde is an alum of Boston's Berklee College of Music, but one wonders if this song will go over well in nearby Cambridge, with its Proletarian thrift shop&its Communist-themed bar. Ignacio Carrillo's "Lagrimas Negras" is a melancholy ode to unrequited love. Pedro Luis Ferrer,a critic of the Cuban government,sings a duet with his daughter Lena that's hardly political. Lena Ferrer belts out "Ay,mi vidita" about giving in to love. Rene Ferrer's "Como a cada manana" is Cuban music meeting smooth R&B. The Magic Orchestra of Havana has a retro-style song with "Morenita." German Obregon's "Pincel Campesino" is a pastoral ode to country life. Armando Garzon's "Escandalo" is a savory Mexican bolero. Kelvis Ochoa's "Fue Una De Mambo" bridges the past and present. Ochoa blends retro-style mambo with reggae.
"Cafe Cubano" is a delicious album. Pour yourself a mojito on a hot summer evening and enjoy!
Description of Cafe Cubano
Café Cubano is a captivating collection that will transport listeners to the charming cafes of this musically-rich Caribbean island. The album features a selection of exceptional performers who have incorporated Cuba's diverse musical traditions and distinctive styles into their music. Several of the songs feature influences from the "nueva trova" movement, in which lyrical poetry is joined with Pan-American folk traditions. Others remain true to the sultry guajiras, romantic boleros and traditional sones which were the underpinning of the renowned Buena Vista Social Club recordings. Cuban music traces its roots back to the melodies of Europe and the rhythms of Africa, and the inspiring blend that resulted from years of interaction between these diverse cultures. While many of these artists are legends at home, the collection includes several who are virtually unknown outside of Cuba. Pedro Luis Ferrer has been writing and performing since the mid 1960's and remains an inspiration for younger generations of musicians. Félix Baloy came to fame in the 1970s as the lead vocalist for Son 14, Orquesta Revé and other seminal ensembles. Armando Garzón, the Cuban-based tenor known by many as "The Black Angel with the Velvet Voice" specializes in the romantic ballads of the 1950s. The collection also features seven other noteworthy musicians who record and perform Cuban music in Havana and beyond.International CDs
