Free Music Review: Farewell to Compay Segundo
Hit: 5 Stars
Born on November 18, 1907 in Siboney, Cuba, Maximo Francisco Repilado Munoz (better known as "Compay Segundo") died of kidney failure on July 13, 2003 in Havana, Cuba. Farewell to an unbelievably charismatic and talented musician. Known for his sporty, Borsalino-style hats and trademark cigars, Segundo was truly young at heart and rich in sound. He reemerged in popularity in 1997 with the Buena Vista Social Club documentary and CD. With the passing of segundo, the world has lost a truly unique and irreplaceable sound.
Las Flores de la Vida Poster
At 93, the man who came to international fame with Buena Vista Social Club is making some of the most celebratory music of his career. And some of the most adventurous, arranging his distinctive son forms for a band that, unusually, includes clarinets. Nor does he need to be front and center all the time, playing second banana to Hugo Garzo's Satchmo-like growl on "Amor de Loca Juventud," or harking back 60 years to a song he cowrote, "Te Doy la Vida," with son Basilio on lead vocals. There's plenty of charm, of course, and some luminous love songs on this record, not just to women, but a love of life itself. Segundo has come to be the embodiment of Cuban son, and his work here does nothing to diminish that reputation. He even closes the set with his version of an ineffably Cuban song, "Guantanamera," done simply because he'd never recorded it before. Self-indulgent? Not in the least. Simply more glorious music from someone who's finally receiving his international due. --Chris NicksonInternational Music CDs
