Synopsis

Product Description

"What an inspired project! A host of Cuba's top musicians create their own Latin jazz, salsa, trova, timba, and son versions of the groundbreaking songs of Joan Manuel Serrat, the Catalan singer-songwriter." -- Songlines [*****] "Catalan poet and singer Joan Manuel Serrat is the kind of pan-Latin cultural giant who can make the Anglo-American global mainstream feel a touch provincial. You and I may never have heard of him, but the mere mention of the Franco-defying veteran balladeer's name was enough to bring out the cream of the Cuban crop for this gorgeous tribute album." -- The Daily Telegraph Some of the most legendary Cuban artists and Buena Vista stars bring you a fabulous 2-CD set featuring new versions of songs by Joan Manuel Serrat, the most famous Spanish songwriter! Nominated for a 2005 Latin Grammy for Best Contemporary Tropical Album. Includes Cuban legends (Omara Portuondo, Chucho Valdes, Ibrahim Ferrer) as well as their heirs (Bamboleo, David Calzado y su Charanga Habanera). Enhanced CD features audio and video extras for your computer. Comprehensive liner notes in English and Spanish.

CD Reviews

Serrat con la deliciosa cadencia cubana

Ximena Garcia | Mexico City, Mexico | 06/11/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"I own this CD since some two or three years ago and I still listen to it frequently. If you are familiar with Serrat's songs, this CD is a refreshing bunch of new versions, very nicely played, high quality sound and rythm, which still keep the author's touch of class. I particularly enjoy Ese tal Tarrés, Para la Libertad, Como un Gorrión, and Señora. The versions are amazing and the voices too. This is a chance to study Serrat's lyrics under a different rythm, and some of them will make you laugh.

Tengo este CD desde hace dos o tres años y aún lo escucho frecuentemente. Si estás familiarizado con las canciones de Serrat, esta es un grupo de nuevas versiones, muy bien ejecutadas, con sonido de alta calidad y ritmos excelentes, pero manteniendo la clase de Serrat. En especial disfruto Ese tal Tarrés, Para la Libertad, Como un Gorrión, y Señora (en una versión de salsa increíble). Las versiones son impresionantes y las voces también. Esta es una oportunidad para estudiar las letras de Serrat bajo un ritmo diferente, y verás que con algunas vas a reír mucho.

I recommend this CD deeply!

Recomiendo este CD sin duda!

(4 out of 5 stars)

"I've been a fan of Joan Manuel Serrat since my teens. It is great to hear such new treatments on familiar songs. Also what a great discovery, Haila who sings Lucía, heavens what a voice! Looking forward to get her CDs to hear that voice."
