Hit: 5 Stars
A Toda Cuba Le Gusta is a great album. If you like to dance or just jump around and shake your hips, you'd love this! The songs are lively and exciting for the most part, though a couple are slower pitched yet still nice. This album does prove that the Cuban music of the earlier part of century 20 is INDEED still alive. My personal favorites from "A Toda Cuba Le Gusta" are "Amor Verdadero," Habana del Este," "Fiesta de la Rumba," Los Sitio' Asere," and "Pío Mentiroso" (LOVE IT!) but the other five tracks are beautiful as well. This album gets two thumbs and two big toes up (if that's possible). I recommend it to all who want to hear some great Cuban music.Free Music Review: A latin-experimental musician

This album really shows what the world missed by almost 40 years, because those guys always were there playing, dancing and "gozando la rumba". It's a really good time to rediscover the essence of mambo played again by the same maestros, but this is just a little proof that the world should take a look(or better a ear) to Latin America and see what's happening. This is a real cuban album, and it's good for people who never before heard el son or for really experts because this album tell'em "Hey come back to your roots, dance the rumba and drink a shot of RON". One of the best world-music releases in the year.Free Music Review: You'll never tire of 'A Toda Cuba Le Gusta.'

This CD features significant personnel overlap from the contemporaneous and (at the time) more popular 'Buena Vista Social Club' release. Like many on these pages, I enjoyed both compilations. But 10 years on, it's this one that still resonates. I can pull it out any time and re-discover the joys of its brassy, upbeat tunes. By contrast, my copy of 'Buena Vista' hasn't seen the light of day in years.
The signature tune here is "Habana Del Este." Those horn-centric riffs are intoxicating. In fact, it's still on heavy rotation at many of my local Starbuck's. You'll never tire of 'A Toda Cuba Le Gusta.'
Free Music Review: Top notch from first track to the last
Hit: 5 Stars
This is an excellent collection worthy of all the praise it has received. Some of the songs are so catchy that you'll be singing them for days. Like the other Buena Vista disks, this has terrific liner notes with translations so that even those who don't speak Spanish can appreciate the lyrics which is half the fun. Those who get hooked on Cuban music from this fantastic recording should take the time to find some of the earlier classics by Celia Cruz or collections like "El son es el mas sublime" which are excellent although they don't have the same sound quality.Free Music Review: Excellent CD of real Cuban music!
Hit: 5 Stars
A Toda Cuba Le Gusta is just a great representation of the distinct variates in Cuban music. Comparable but not exactly like Buena Social Club, this "newer" Cuban music is a little more fast paced, has more percussion and for me is genuinely better (no disrespect to the Buena Vista Social Club). My favorite tracks here are A Toda Cuba Le Gusta, Habana del Este and Clasiqueando con Ruben (the best instrumental "Latin" track I have ever heard after Love and Liberte by the Gispy Kings). You will not be disappointed with this buy.
