This review is from: Cuba Si: Pure Cuban Flavor (Audio CD)

This collection of classic Cuban dance music is an explosion of brass and percussion that will keep even the most rhythmically challenged listeners twirling on their toes! It is impossible to sit still while listening to this! Some of the best interpreters of SON and SALSA are present and in rare form on this CD... world-reknown, accomplished musicians such as Cachao, Los Van Van, Albita, and Irakire! What a great mix! This is a MUST-HAVE for any Latin music collector. It's a slice of musical history that reflects the tireless and inspiring Cuban spirit. And for those who are new to the genre, this CD is a perfect introduction that will leave you not wanting but rather NEEDING more! ¡Vámono' pa' Cuba!

This album is absolutely amazing. I love cuban music and this is the best I've heard to date. Incredible vocals combined with an excellent traditional band sound make it a wonderful exploration of sound. I highly recommend it.
