Clásicos De La Música Cubana De Eliseo Grenet
CD
(EliseoGrenet 86582),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
Here’s a nice idea that works: take a bunch of the talent in Miami and get them to record a passel of great tunes, in this case the music of the Cuban composer Eliseo Grenet. Starting with Roberto Torres, of SAR fame (and this project reminds me a bit of something his label might have done), singing "Mama Ines," moving through Carlos Manuel, Malena Burke (with Cachao on bass), Albita and Aymee Nuviola, the project maintains its balance, even through a bit of reggaeton on the part of Manuel. The backing music’s son for the most part, and when it needs to it moves into salsa, and even some pop for Albita singing "Drume Negrita." Totally amiable.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-05-13)
