Synopsis

Album Description
This collection of Cuban music, performed by Cuba's most famous bands and musicians, is a great starting point to capture the essence of this island nation. From an alluring land of tropical beaches, crumbling art deco architecture, and king-size 1950s American cars, Cuba's music is as steamy and exotic as its tropical nights. This music conveys the constant change throughout Cuba's history, the many cultures that have shaped the country, and the wide-open future that lies ahead.

Magnificent Sound of old Havana
10/17/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is the finest compilation of traditional Cuban music on the market. Each selection is brilliantly chosen and features marvelous playing, fantastic arrangements of these mostly classic tunes, and superb singing. By turns foot-stomping, hip-swaying, and heart-rending, this disc is a must for aficinados, and a wonderful introduction to this soulful music for those just beginning to sample its joys and splendors."
