5.0 out of 5 stars Great album - a continuation of his 'Master Sessions', March 20, 2004

This is a great album from the guy who invented Mambo. 'Cuba Linda' is a logical progression on the 'Master Sessions' albums. This album has a different feel than the 'Master Sessions' albums - a little more spontaneous and lively. 'Cuba Linda' is a bit more upbeat - Cachao plays everything from Danzon, ChaChaCha, Abakua, Son, among others. The musicians are great, masters from Luis Conte to Orestes Vilato join Cachao. I also recommend 'Dos', 'Descargando', 'Master Sessions, Vol. 1 & 2'. In fact, anything from Cachao is well worth investing.

Israel " Cachao" Lopez is a musical icon, who contributed heavily to the magnificent musical legacy of Cuba. He comes from a famous family, and helped to launch the mambo musical form. Listeners who have come to Cuban music via Saint Ry should check this out.
