Bebo Valdes
Mucho Sabor
CD
(Essential Media 15912),
Re-Issued 2008
Editor's Pick:
Alabao, what an album!!! This is the classic Cuban sound from start to finish. The great Pío Leyva is on vocals for a lot of these tunes, and what a groove these guys cooked up. Merengues No, in addition to being my anthem in life (my other anthem is "Techno is one of the warning signs of the Apocalypse", but that's another story), is a great uptempo guaracha. Bebo's version of the tune Celia made famous, Canto a La Habana, is excellent in its own right, with a rollicking arrangement and another great vocal by Pío. Other standout tunes include Tirando Tiro, a classic 50s simple song with a dubious message (hey bartender, give me more rum) and great music behind it, plus Pon Por Mí, another nice guaracha, and the pretty boleros Insensible Corazón and El Destino lo Quiso Así. This is by far my favorite Bebo album, and a must for serious collectors. (Abel Delgado, 2008-05-25)
