This review is from: Beginners Guide to Cuba (Audio CD)

This `Beginner's Guide to Cuba' is a pretty good first port of call if you want to hear what Cuban music is all about. This has three discs of music offering a pretty comprehensive selection of tracks, the first disc has Classic Cuban Music, the second has more Jazzy music and the third has Salsa. This collection features such artists as Compay Segundo and Ibrahim Ferrer and if you like Buena Vista Social Club (which I also heartily recommend) then the first disc will be right up your street. With attractive packaging, a brief written introduction to each track and music to get your feet tapping and hips shaking this is an excellent collection to get you in the mood for any Cuban holiday or to help you relieve your experience when you get back. Well worth a look.
