5.0 out of 5 stars Septeto Nacional and Guests, May 6, 2000

By	luis de quesada (jamaica, new york United States) - See all my reviews

This is a star-studded album, which will remain on the best selling lists for a long time. Guests include "tresero-magnifico" Pancho Amat, composer/pianist Gonzalo"Rubalcaba",veteran percussionist "Tata"Guines,rookie singer Bertha Portuondo, veteran sonero Pio Leyva and to increase the historical importance and value of this CD, the last recordings of cuba's guarachera singer Caridad Cuervo, who unfortunately died right after these recording sessions. All I can say is that by listening to these recordings by the all new Septeto Nacional, I know the great tradition of excellence of this group will continue under its new administration. Excellent job by "Network".

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb African-Cuban music., March 10, 2000

By	susan Rahim (Holbaek, Denmark) - See all my reviews

In the rich flow of wonderful Cuban music reaching our part of the world, this is a true pearl. As the already worldfameous recordings from World Circuit this recording from Network deserves the same world fame. With legends in the son traditions such as Pin Leyva, Francisco Loenel Rodriquez "Pancho Amat", Guillermo Gonzalez Camejo "Rubalcaba" and the percussion highpriest of Cuba ,Tata Günes, the listener will be merged into the true magic of African-Cuban music tradition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent stuff!, November 5, 2009

By	Herve Bronnimann (New York City, NY USA) - See all my reviews

This is a must have for the cuban son-afficionados. It's solid, great music, in the classical form, that'll keep you entertained for hours. I have three or four of CDs like this and put them on a loop during the day, haven't gotten bored of it yet :) If you like those, check out Orgullos de los Soneros, and the Israel Lopez Cachao Descargas CD. As well as the Estrellas de Areitos, which is a bit more coarse but still so much closer to the real stuff that some of what the music industry's been trying to promote after the BVSC hype (which was good nevertheless to promote the style and introduce listeners to this kind of music - for which I am very graceful).
