Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Oquesta La Moderna Tradición continues to produce some of the finest danzón-charanga dance material anywhere. This latest effort pushes the envelop further with in-the-pocket vocals by Eduardo Herrera and near timba flavored arrangements to create a more powerful feel on some of these pristine tracks. Listen to the pure strength of “Contrólate” which leads into the unadulterated pleasure of Orestes Lopéz’ “Carnegie Hall.” You just have to give in to this stuff. Gorgeous.
With “Chus” Alonso, who does a superb job on flute, clarinetist Don Gardner, timbalero Carlos Caro, pianist Bob Karty, Steve Senft-Herrera on bass, Michael Spiro on congas and batá, violinists Rachel Durling, Sandy Poindexter and Tregar Otton — whose combined virtuosity turns each track into a gem, and a first class coro section made up of Sage Baggott (also on bongó and batá), Edgardo Cambón, Ramón “Monchy” Estevez.
This one has been staying on my CD player.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2006-07-11)
