Perez Prado is always great,
By Colonel Sanders (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cuban Originals (Audio CD)
I have not found a Perez Prado album that I don't like. This one includes some great songs. The 11th song alone was worth they buy for me. If you have a chance to get any Prez Prado album, do it.

The Most Underrated Mambo Album of All Time,
By
This review is from: Cuban Originals (Audio CD)
I have yet to find a Mambo or Latin Big Band compilation that comes remotely close to this album. What's interesting is that the opening tracks for the CD are not Prado's biggest hits, although every track is classic Latin Swing. By the time you get to "Mambo No. 5", you're transported to a completely different place and time. Close your eyes while listening to classics like "Que Rico El Mambo", and you can almost catch a whiff of seasoned black beans and rice, and the aroma of strong Cuban coffee mingled with a breeze from the ocean.
It's impossible for me to listen to songs like "Lupita" and "Mambo No. 8" without a big smile on my face, as those and other songs on the album are timeless masterpieces. Whether you're looking for something to relax to while whipping up a Cuban meal in the kitchen, something to drive to on a sunny day, or the perfect for entertaining guests, this album is for you. Add this CD to your collection, and take a trip to 1950's Cuba without ever having to buy a plane ticket. |
