Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Man, this is the stuff, a totally non-stop, real timba recording, featuring some of the best singers produced by the bands Charanga Habanera and Charanga Forever. But the music is as much a star as the singers, bouncing on the amazingly funky bass playing of Pablo Pedro. From the opening, driven tumbao through the breaks and thick coros and the inspired singing, this is the sort of project that makes timba sound classic. It has everything, new sounding beats, and lots of melodies in the coros, breakdowns all over the place, great singing. And it’s not afraid of the late night long haul, with some tracks pushing seven minutes (though I’d like to hear the rest of the tape, given that there a bunch of fade outs). The singers — Tirso Duarte, Michel Maza and Mandy Cantero — give each track a work out, and they’re joined by a fantastic coro that includes Mayito, along with the singers. I mean,just the breakdowns alone — listen to Cuenta Con Los Santos, where the trombones blare over the percussion — are worth the album itself; there’s just so much arranging and playing inspiration. This one’s in the car, in the living room, also.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2006-11-14)
