Released 2007;
Editor's Pick:
Ah, the sounds of timba, fresh, and smart and urgent. Pedro Pablo, a bassist from Havana, has, on his second album, done what he did on his first -- which is make either the best or one of the best timba albums of the year. And what Yo Soy la Noticia brings is the miracle of rhythm arrangements, arrangements worked out in front of dancers, and, though the title track fades too quickly, you can hear what the band does for dancers — roughing out stuttering rhythms, and feints, and food for the dancers’ imagination. Pablo’s put the piano upfront, too, and the montunos lift the music up and give it a bright, new sound; check out how the piano rocks the sound of the tune "Cristina". It’s amazing music, workaday dance music from the streets of Havana, but in a 100 years, when the talent to play such profoundly complicated music has been lost, it’s true value will show up.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2007-05-14)
