Music reviews of Cuba
Music Review: Cuban fever!
Rating: 5 Stars
I have just recieved the "Putumayo Presents: Cuba" CD today and have been listening to it at my office constantly. It makes me feel as if I am there in Cuba! The songs and artists each have kept me moving with each different beat and rythym. Inspired by all the music my cuban husband plays, I had to get more music that gives us the feeling of home. I am happy that I have bought this CD! If you love a catchy beat that keeps the latino in you moving, this CD is for you.?Muchas Gracias!
Description of Cuba
At once spicy hot and languorously sweet, Putumayo Presents Cuba is a passionate marriage of active and passive, masculine and feminine, a contemporary festival of sound whose roots were born in defiance of onerous distraction and oppression. Based on Afro-Cuban culture, whose music comes from a combination of European and African instrumentation, the songs in this collection swing with the energetic rhythms of traditional son (also the base of salsa). Layered over the repetitive beat, guitars chime, maracas add shimmy, and trumpets take the upper accent melody, often repeating or contrasting the main vocal melody. One of the finest contributions to the disc is Mi Son's "Mecanica de Amor," in which the band substitutes the violin for the lead trumpet, making a treat of the unexpected. Irakere's funky fusion "Boliviera" comes on gangbusters with beefy bass, full horn section, and featured flute melody. Containing superb liner notes, Putumayo Presents Cuba makes a fine introduction to this island's rich sound, and a superb remedy to the blues. --Paige La GroneCuba CDs
