5.0 out of 5 stars Depths of Afro-Cuban Rhythm, August 7, 2011

This famous Cuban folkloric group plunges the depths of rhumba with a spectacular live percussive exposition. The sound of this concert recording is outstanding. My head is spinning trying to decipher the layers of rhythm, other than the bass drum with its classic rumba beat. Arising from the even deeper and older ritual music of Africa, the simplicity of voice behind the pure percussion enchants and entrances. The audience is appreciative and you will be too. All the son and modern Afro-Cuban jazz can be seen arising, in part, from this core, the spiritual heart. As with many live recordings, the excitement of the event pervades.

Originally recorded live in 1992, during the last day of the tour of the famous Muñequitos de Matanzas to New York City, this great recording is now discontinued and should be re-issued. To sum it all up,its a historical masterpiece of great value to all Afro-Cuban music collectors and fans.
