Buika
El Ultimo Trago - Con Chucho Valdes
CD
(Warner/1906/casalimon 861477),
Released 2009;
Editor's Pick:
Concha Buika, the supremely soulful singer best known, perhaps, as the first lady of Afro-Flamenco jazz interpretation, here joins with Cuban master pianist and patriarch of Afro-Cuban jazz, Chucho Valdés. Filmaker Pedro Almodóvar writes in the liners "...Her voice reminds us of La Lupe's frenzy with sometimes a hint of Olga Guillot..." Backed by Chucho and his band (with bassist Lazaro Rivero Alarcón, percussionist Yaroldy Abreu Robles, trumpeter Carlos Sarguy and others) there is a definite Afro-Cuban feel, and the singer "brings the flavors of copla, tango, bulería, bolero, Cuban music and jazz, mix(es) them together with such grace and spontaneity..." In short, this is a gem of a project with dimensions that unfold with each track. Highly Recommended. (BP, 2009-10-20)
