Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The musical relationship between Havana and New Orleans dates back centuries. Both cities share an Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage, and both take great pride in keeping that heritage alive. So it really shouldn't be too surprising that this mating--co-produced by Joe Boyd with Cubanismo's Jesús Alemañy and the Yockamo All-Stars' Mark Bingham--comes off so naturally. The stunning "Shallow Water Suite," featuring Crescent City R&B singer John Boutte, solidifies the African-based spiritual connection between New Orleans mardi-gras chants and Cuban rumba, while Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-In-Law" receives a clever bilingual workout. But the heart of the album is in the original instrumental hybrids such as "Cuborleans," "Gumbo Son," and Alemañy's "Boogaloo," on which trumpeter Alemañy earns an honorary place in the great New Orleans tradition that extends from Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong to Wynton Marsalis and Nicholas Payton. --Rick Mitchell

5.0 out of 5 stars Crescent City Cubanismo, August 26, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Mardi Gras Mambo: Cubanisimo in New Orleans (Audio CD)
The Latin Thing in New Orleans music has too often been overshadowed, even though the city has produced a steady, diverse stream of talented Latin musicians and bands. This joyful album is a corrective and a historical compendium in one package and very exciting.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best working band in the world?, August 23, 2000

Javier del Bosco (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mardi Gras Mambo: Cubanisimo in New Orleans (Audio CD)
This is the finest representation to date of this sweltering orchestra's unbeatable live shows. The New Orleans-flavored lines meld fantastically with the rock-solid percussion. These tunes are even hotter live! Congratulations to Alemany and Joe Boyd-this gets my vote for record of the year.
