5.0 out of 5 stars "Ay Caramba " is Good!, September 25, 2006

While traveling from Marrakech to Agadir my wife had the Moroccan radio station on, we noticed that the song playing was in English with a Latin beat, after the song was over the DJ announced it as "SKA CUBANO", what impressed me was that the singer sounded like the late Cuban singer Beny More! Later that night while staying in the Agadir Beach Club we heard the song again. We approach the DJ and he informed us that it was a recording from an English man and a Cuban singer who called themselves the SKA CUBANO. I was amazed when I heard the remaining songs it was fascinating. We danced all night to the music, and all the people seem to like the sound. Cumbia, Jamaican Ska, Jazz, and Cuban music altogether sounded great. My favorites are Soy Campesino, Tabu, and Istanbul. All the songs are very good and the back up band is outrageously good. Buy it and experience the excellent combination of this CD. My Mediterranean girl insisted that I write a review. Check it out on the web-site and listen to the songs.

The fact that the label this artist records on is associated with Putumayo is what initially drew me to it. One listen to the samples and I knew I had to add this to my collection.

If you aren't dancing after a few bars of the first track, best go see the doctor because either your ears don't work right or your rhythm bone is broke!

5.0 out of 5 stars A little licky from the big bamboo, April 28, 2008

Just another must have. Some covers of great ska songs, some truely funny originals, all very dancable, bouncing off the walls, but sweet you know. Lots of horns, ska and very cubano and very nicely produced. One of the last tracks is much more of a throwback to african roots. That little licky bamboo song, I'd heard it before from Prince buster, but this one made me laugh again.
