Reviews3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...revisits the lovelorn ballads, patriotic hymns and gentle son-based dance numbers heard in swank Havana lounges as far back as the 1920s....enduring reminders that in Cuba, the wisdom of the ages still counts for something.", Ranked #71 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s.", "...The rhythms vary, but the sound is gentle yet flamboyant throughout. It brims with warmth." - Rating: B+, Ranked #23 in Mojo's "100 Modern Classics" -- "Witty, Wistful, and above All Wise.", Included in Q Magazine's "50 Best Albums of 1997.", "Producers Ry Cooder and Nick Gold allowed the personalities of these various musicians to come blazing out and captured the ardent breadth of these tunes.", "...The beguiling fusion of Cooder's twangy slide guitar with the danzon and other, conga-tinged Afro-Hispanic rhythms...makes for an exciting multicultural marriage...", Ranked #21 in the Village Voice's 1997 Pazz & Jop Critics' Poll.
