Juan José Hernandez & San Juan Habana
San Juan Habana
CD
(SJH 001),
Released 2008;
Editor's Pick:
This one jumps right out at you, a high-speed son/salsa blowout from Puerto Rico. The leader Juan Jose Hernandez — singer, bassist — has made it a point to bring together traditions and musicians from Cuba and Puerto Rico (check the maracas on the cover of the cd), and the result is overpowering salsa, with Hernandez’s intense singing cutting through the music. It’s based in the son, and the cuatro shows up, as do Ismael Miranda, Pupy Santiago, Sammy Garcia and more, and the music just doesn’t stop, roaring through son, bombas, and more. Just pure pleasure, that’s all, acoustic music at its best.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-06-24)
