"Read this line twice: If you like rumba and out of this world solos on congas & bata you cannot afford not having this album. I will list the titles for you, cause amazon doesnt1. Con tres tambores bata 2. Homenaje a Chano Pozo 3. Blem, Blem, Blem 4. Donde Va Mulata 5. Yambu 6. La Jeringonza 7. Dale tres golpes a latumba 8. Homenaje a Calixto Callava 9. Columbia 10. Tata se ha vuelto locoYouve never heard music like this unless youve been present in a rumbon in a street alley of cuba or puerto rico. To listen to this album is not just pleasurable is an experience. Other recommendations (of my favorites) are: Batacumbele (all their stuff is good, try los hijos del tambor or Con un poco de songo) if you can find them ,Cachao Lopez (descargas), Bobby Sanabria - Aché and Truco y zaperoko.To sum it up for the people that read my review: Tata Güines is so good, that his album could contain a money back guarantee and the producer wouldnt have to sweat it,not for ONE SECOND, which is the same amount of time it takes Tata to hit the tumba five times. This is a special order but it is worth the wait, do not cancel your order, just wait and be rewarded with a true classic. Last words: If you are a conga player and try to follow on your own while listening to the CD be careful, you may have a heart attack while trying. The drums will explode in your chest.enough said"
