Disappointment

"Having listened to Introduction....Ruben Gonzalez, I was pleased to see the new CD by Ruben and immediately bought it.I have found this a disapointment as I don't think it matches the liveliness and quality of the Introducing.. Ruben Gonzalez.If you were to buy a CD by Ruben Gonzalez then I would defintitely only buy Introducing.... Ruben Gonzalez as the tracks on Indestructible lack imagination or flair in my opinion."

Sometimes it's better not to empty the drawers

"Ruben Gonzalez is definitely one of the most important persons in cuban music. His record "Introducing" is a pure gem, so is the new one "Chanchullo", but the release of this CD is purely useless.The sound is bad, the playing lazy, Ruben wakes up once or twice but not much more. Even the duration is limited.The person who found this recording at the bottom of a forgotten drawer should not have opened it. Even musical giants have bad days... and the day he recorded this selection, Ruben was not in good condition..."

Sensational cocktail-bar like mood

"A sensational relaxing and at the same time rythmic CD from Ruben Gonzalez. A bit to much 60's like pipe organ."
