5.0 out of 5 stars
Great band (and great dancers if you ever have a chance to see them!), November 9, 2006
This review is from: Con Sabor Al Guaso (Audio CD)
Ban Rarra is an amazing dance and music group that highlights eastern Cuban and Haitian cultures, from traditional styles of rumba and religious music to very post-Special Period themes (see, for example, the theme "El Yuma Cambia a la Gente"!). They are truly phenomenal live, and if you ever have a chance for legal travel (or the embargo ends...), they are an experience not to be missed. Meanwhile, the disc itself is a musical journey from Mambo to trova-ish sounds to very traditional Afro-Cuban/Haitian/etc aesthetics and so on! It's a great experience for the listener.
