When I first heard of SonSublime it was on a marquee outside the Westgate Lounge, a popular Latin music and dance club in Westchester, New York, that my wife and I frequent whenever we get the urge to pachangiar (Cuban slang for major partying). I thought to myself, "Yeah - right...Sublime...how presumptuous." I've gotten so used to mediocre Latin bands that I expected more of the same. The moment SonSublime came on the stage and began playing we jumped to our feet and began to dance! Not since the golden years of Cuban music in the 1940's and 50's, with legends like La Orquesta Aragon, La Sonora Matancera and the late Jose Fajardo Sr. y Su Orquesta has there been a sound so sublime. Needless to say, we danced all night non-stop! On our way out we purchased their new CD entitled Bailando Con SonSublime at the door and played it all the way home in the car. The next day I went online and ordered their other CD offerings, Irresistible and Gran Reserva; again, the name says it all! This is music that you can listen to as well as dance to. The lyrics, the musical arrangements, the vocals, each individual instrument and above all, the truly superb, out of this world flute solos and accompaniments by Connie Grossman all combine into what is rightly entitled SonSublime. This band is destined for greatness - they already are great - all you have to do is listen and you'll agree!

This is such a treat. You will certainly want to dance!

The music, lyrics and the exceptional, outstanding Connie Grossman in addition to the high caliber arrangements make for a delightful musical experience. Each musical ingredient results in an auditory smorgasbord that will delight all. No doubt there are many more happy listeners out there!

This is one of the best albums I have ever heard!!! Everyone should buy it.

Lo digo comparandolo con Gran Reserva. Este disco mezcla canciones viejas con nuevas compocisiones, siempre con un buen ritmo. Mientras el grupo esta bien anclado en la charanga tradicional, en este disco tocan con un ritmo mas agresivo que el anterior. Connie Grossman en la flauta prueva su genio tocando el instrumento como si nacio con una en su boca.

Este es un disco para los que estan interesados en una forma de musica mas pura. Las liricas mas o menos consisten del montuno mismo con los instrumentos contestando. Los solos de piano y violin estan hechos muy bien, y las canciones tienden a tener un buen ritmo para bailar salsa, siendo largas(5+ minutos). Esto es en parte tambien por un ritmo mas agresivo que en Gran Reserva, el cual mejor utiliza variacion en los instrumentos de percusion, utilizando la flauta para accentuarla.
