CD
(Envidia 7173),
Released 2007;
Editor's Pick:
The last few years might just go down as a small, enlightened florescence of timba. The kings have abdicated their thrones — Issac, Paulito, etc. — and the Princes are taking over, making deeply satisfying hard dance music from Cuba, timba, the timba that’ll last until technology melts away, timba with a bit of salsa. Envidia’s helped, and here’s another example, recording Jesus El Zun-Zun, and if he sounds familiar it’s because he was the immediately identifiable lead singer of Dan Den for a long time, gracing a bunch of hits. He hasn’t lost his sound, either, and his voice, tight and pinched and fooling with pitch, cuts right through the band. And it’s a serious band, floating above the bassist Arnaldo Jimenez and Jorge Papiosko on percussion; you want it to play all night, the way you know it can. The coro includes Ciso Guanche and El Sinsonte, and the music is always smart, starting off in one place and ending up in another. The trombones rock.
Highly Recommended, modern Cuban music at its best. (Peter Watrous, 2007-03-30)
