When I was on vacation in Ibiza (meditarranian island) I heard, when walking past hundred bars whith techno att over 120 dB screaming out from their insides, a distant blissful sound of salsa. I heard when entering the bar that it was no ordinary "euro-salsa". The bar-man (a cubano) was very pleased that I knew the difference. the nice music was performed by someone called David Calzado & La Charanga... He wouldn't let me buy the CD but luckyly enough I had a friend that was of to Cuba and I orderd the record "Pa' que se entere La Habana" and as a bonus I also got "tremendo delirio". I have been listening to nothing else ever since, and this was one year ago. Gracias mi mejor salsa caballero Calzado

I just came back from Cuba and saw Charanga Habanera in concert and let me tell you these boys can sing! They are wonderful performers and definitely have charisma, if you live in Los Angeles they're coming in April, trust me you'll have a blast!

Quieres que te charangeo mami - en cheque o effectivo. The best from Cuba together with "Te pone la cabeza mala / Marcando la distancia / Yo no me parezco a nadie / Con la conciencia tranquila / De buena fe".

the most exciting new band in the last years in Cuba, amazing brass riffs, superb rithm, heavy vocal harmony, serious musicians making non serious music! If you understand spanish and cuban slang, you will shure enjoy what they say, if not, you'll be moving your body without notice!this is the real Timba Cubana! Bravo, Charanga! qué sabor!

I'm a 100% cuban,a frustrated musician and i can tell you there's no better music than cuban musicians does.Beside of my procedence anybody who knows about this business can say the same.Here's an example David Calzado y "La Charanga Habanera" a truly spectacle on stage dancing,playing and singing with there agressive rhytm a mix of son with the big bands music like earth,wind and fire and the comodores.In a few words the best of the tropical music like everything we do and something that is not divulgated in this country for known reasons.
If someone's agree with me e-mail me and it'll be a pleasure for me.Thank you(...)

Don't let the perfectly awful cover art throw you. This CD is well worth having. The music is truly special. This genre of Cuban music is for those thinking all salsa sounds basically the same, and wants more sophisticated composition.

Charanga in their prime. Monstrous grooves. Ridiculous horn lines. The birth of the Timba Rap (the real kind). Spectacular musicianship. Brilliant ideas and songwriting. Lyrics are clever (and often downright filthy--see "Un Disparo en la Mirada" As close to perfect as it gets.

I first heard this album back in '98 and i loved it... even being from Peru, there is not 1 person that would not know at least 1 song from La Chanranga. Somehow i lost this album about 4 years ago but now i've found it again at Timba.com, they also ship their stuff all over the world so if you want this guy that's where you can find it. One of my best purchases ever.

This is one of the very best TIMBA CDs to dance to. Great for Casino dancing and ruedas as well. This is a must have, whether you're a novice or connoseur of Cuban music. UN CUBICHON EN HOUSTON
