Music reviews of Buena Vista Social Club
Music Review: The sounds of my southern neighbors
Rating: 5 Stars
I grew up just north of Miami. Whenever I listen to this, I remember growing up in South Florida and my Cuban friends. I imagine that these are the songs that play through the jalousie windows of Little Havana and during the festival of Calle Ocho.
Description of Buena Vista Social Club
\I felt like I'd trained all my life for this album. It's the peak." So says guitar master Ry Cooder about his first recording since his Grammy-winning Talking Timbuktu he teams with a galaxy of Cuba's finest musicians"Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed. Barbarito Torres's laoud solo on "El Cuarto de Tula" is both more blinding and more tasteful than any guitar showcase on any recent rock album; a quote from "Stormy Weather" and some very distinct parallels to Hawaiian styles remind us of why it's called "world music." --Rickey Wright
