CD Reviews

Hecha!

Schuyler Thompson | Rumson, NJ United States | 03/19/2001

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Compay does it again. Compay's appearence has everything: superb music, flawless pacing, and the most charming frontman ever. This album opens with "La Negra Tomasa" which takes you away immediatly to the tropical pearl of the south, Cuba. Seconded by "Las Flores De La Vida," the most beautiful song on the album. "Oui Parle Francais" is a song that will have you on your feet in no time. Then to settle you down Compay plays "Juramento" and "Enamorada". Number six, "Amor De Loca Juventud," is a wonderful song, especially when Compay's son, Basilio, does a rendition of the great Louis Armstrongs voice. The album continues at a medium to fast pace until number twelve, "Cazabe y Macho". This is a song full of power and emotion. The album is ended by the timeless "Guantanamera". I don't care what the previous reviewer said about Celia Cruz's version being the best. Compay's version of "Guantanamera" is beyond comparison. And being that Compay is the greatest living Cuban musician, I think Celia would agree. This is a great album to buy if you want to expierence the greatest music on the planet, la musica de Cuba."

A Flowing Tribute to Cuban Music

"After being exposed to traditional Cuban music with the Buno Vista Social Club, I was delighted to find Compay Segundo to further my discovery into this beautiful sound. A relaxing listen, it is both upbeat and complex in its melodies. I highly reccomend this purchase, and look forward to hearing other works by this artist."

Music that surpasses age and nationality

Neal C. Reynolds | Indianapolis, Indiana | 05/06/2003

"It seems incredible that a singer can still be singing when in his 90's. I was prepared to make allowances for his age, but no, that's not necessary. The familiar "Guatanamera" comes across as a fresh arrangement, and the less familiar soon become favorites. That is my experience here.This is for those who enjoy Cuban music and a CD which will easily win new converts. Very highly recommended."
