5.0 out of 5 stars This release is the sound of evolution, October 31, 2005

Cha Cha Mimi "Mimi" (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Humo De Tabaco (Audio CD)

Humo De Tabaco is the sound of evolution. With each generation music changes & grows; evolving into a form that is an invitation to others to get to know us all beter. This album invites you to Cuba and allows you to listen to true musicianship with influences of Rock, Pop & R&B. No Buena Vista Social Club, this is young & fresh, contemplative and exciting. It's all at once danceable and romantic, jazz and pop, it emits visions for soundtracks to foriegn films and cinema nuevo... Humo De Tabaco is magic.

4.0 out of 5 stars can't wait to hear more, October 18, 2006

Uncle Sam (USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Humo De Tabaco (Audio CD)

Very good record. Even though this is much more polyrhythmic than the music of Silvio Rodriguez, you can tell he knows that music's lyrics well. I think the lean arrangements are what makes the music sound fresh. My only two complaints: 1) the strings are a distraction, obviously added onto already-existing arrangements that can stand on their own, and 2) the two duets are lousy...they seem forced and awkward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding CD
The Buena Vista thing, as wonderful as it is, is a little played out. This is something different -- it's folksy and tropical, a real breath of fresh air. Read more
