Boncana Maiga
The Best Of Salsa
CD
(Maestro Sound 002),
Released 1997;
Editor's Pick:
Very Limited Quantities!
What a nice compilation of dance material from Boncana Maiga, flautist and vocalist form Mali. With the help some of New York's finest musicians like Manny Oquendo, Jerry Gonzales, Chombo Silva, Orestes Vilato, Oscar Hernández, Alfredo Valdés Jr., Barry Rogers, Alfredo De La Fé and many others, Maiga manages to tap into the heart and soul of rootsy Afro-Cuban flute and tres tinged salsa and charanga. Late seventies, early eighties I assume? Also with Felo Barrios on vocals; there is some wonderful material here.
Highly recommended. (BP, 2008-03-24)
