Strait-Up Rumba - Beautiful!

(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is a fantastic album, if you dig rumba guaguanco, the percussion, the drums and the singing. It is simple, unpretentious and elegante. Artists include 'Conjunto de Clave y Guaguanco', Grupo Afrocuba de Mantanzas and Los Papines, among others. Perhaps my favorite is cut no. 3, 'Ve y Dile et tu Mamita!' - such soulful singing in female voice. I thank Aleida Espinosa for her excellente selections on this album. Note: this is not a vareity sampler of 'Latin' music. It is strait-up rumba, and I love it. Highly Recommended."
