  • Great way-back

    I bought this album many years back for the history of what Cuban music was and it didn't disappoint. I misplaced the cd so thought I'd buy another.... used, I knew I was taking a chance (New cds are too expensive) so what the heck, I'd give it a try.... waited til what I thought was a good quality cd, good value. Was not disappointed.

  • Music is a universal language. =)

    This is a great CD, with an awesome book liner notes that tells the story of some of Cuba's greatest artists getting together. I can't understand any of the lyrics, and that doesn't matter. Music is a universal language. =) ...the lyrics are translated in the cool liner notes I mentioned earlier, if you wish. Thanks to Ry Cooder and all those involved. *****

  • Great tracks for decompression

    Rich, beautiful, organic tracks that lend themselves to chilling out on the patio w/ a cold libation or soaking up rays by the pool. The historic Spanish & Caribe influence will peel off the stress of the work week and toss your cares to the four winds. This music makes me feel as if I'm in Havana, sipping a Papa Doble with Hemmingway himself. Who cares if anyone is watching? Dance my friend, for life is too short to waste!

  • Different in a REALLY GOOD WAY!

    The kind of music missing from most jazz collections. It's Cuban style that's all it's own. Lots of hand percussion and guitars. Excellent-like being in a Havana bar or night club!

    Disc was remarkably scratched (not surprising when one saw the smashed jewel case with NONE of the central support hub suviving) but at least it played.
