This review is from: Bana Congo (Audio CD)

Papi Oviedo, master of the Cuban "tres" (a distinctive type of guitar) and Congolese guitarist Papa Noel explore the interconnections of African and Latin American pop, in this fluid and quite listenable collaboration. The back-and-forth history of Afro-Cuban music isn't exactly a new revelation to world music fans, but this disc is notable for its inclusion of newer, post-1960s styles, such as NYC-style salsa, as well as for its economy and grace. Nice record; a little heavier on the Latin side of the equation. Worth checking out.
