Free Music Notes for Rumba Palace
Free Music Review: Good, but the cover and title are both misleading
Hit: 3 Stars
I expected more danceable music. Considering the cover art, and the fact that he named it after his new dance club, I never expected so much pure jazz. The first and third tracks are great for dancing, and they do have elements of timba. But after that, it is all jazz with Cuban music elements. And absolutely none of those Cuban elements come from Rumba.
Perhaps it should have been called "Jazz Palace".
Free Music Review: Pure Cuban Timba
Hit: 5 Stars
Thanks Arturo...those who are writting reviews here do not know about current Cuban Music...Timba...well it does not matter because they do not know about music. Your performance is great and every "Tumbao" and "Timba Mambos" are fantastically arranged. Thanks for introducing the world to the current cuban explosion...Timba!
Fantastic Arturo!

Hit: 4 Stars
Rumba Palace Is a very good blend of awsome Jazz with very fine Latin background . If you're already a fan of Arturo you won't be disapointed. If not, check it out. You will hear some of the best of both worldsFree Music Review: Absolutely AMAZING!!
Hit: 5 Stars
Arturo Sandoval is the king of Latin jazz and one of the world's most dynamic performers and this album proves just that!
This album is sophisticated and elegant, but also displays plenty of fire. I love that ten of the eleven songs are original compositions by Arturo himself, I think they really highlight his renowned Latin side.
His band also sounds incredible and really rounds out the whole album. The whole band sounds really excited to be a part of it and the songs just flows so smoothly.
It's high-powered and shows remarkable range, but at time is also moody and graceful, and it even showcases Sandoval singing!
I love it!
Free Music Review: Rumba Palace....Not so much
Hit: 2 Stars
I have been an Arturo fan since before he came to the US. I was very disappointed with this CD. First, the arraignments are aweful, as if they were thrown togather just to fill the disc, no imagination, each track sounds the same as the next. Second, the CD was overproduced. Third, the CD would put you to sleep, not entice you to dance as Arturo said in an interview. Arturo, you can do better. Try allowing others do the arrainging on some of the tracks for a better variety. Try using actual musicians, rather than laying mutiple tracks of the same musician playing the various tracks. I will still be a loyal fan and buy your next CD, but I was very disappointed in this effort.
