Free Music Review: The masters at play
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like authenticity, spontaneity, and Cuban music, you'll love this 2-CD all-star set. Noting the popularity of New York-based salsa musicians in the Seventies, Paris-based Ivory Coast producer Raoul Diomande, a great admirer of Afro-Cuban music, went to the source -- La Habana -- and cut these sides in 1979. Juan Pablo Torres recruited and arranged the charts for the trumpeters Felix Chappotin, Arturo Sandoval, Guajiro Mirabal and Jorge Varona. Additionally, Paquito D'Rivera (Irakere) is on alto sax, while pianists Ruben Gonzalez and Jesus Rubalcaba handle the 88 keys. The brilliant rhythm section includes percussionists Amadito Valdes, Tata Guines, Ricardo Leon, and electric bassist Fabian Garcia. Torres also wanted to represent the gentler influence of the charanga, and brought in violinists including Enrique Jorrin, credited with inventing the cha cha cha, Angel Barbazon and Miguel "Brindis" Barbon, plus flutist Richard Egues. Chappotin has great presence and Torres contributes warm-toned, fluent trombone spots. Gonzalez, who played with the Buena Vista Social Club, displays more brilliance here; in '79 he was younger and gigging on a more consistent basis. The lead vocalists, include the great Miguelito, Tito Gomez from Orquesta Riverside improvise with the flexibility of horn players. The late Pio Leyva also lends his baritone voice to the mix. Even though this recording came in late 1979, and was (incredibly) performed in a week, its improvisations are just mind-boggling. You will be witnessing witchcraft artistry at an incredible level. The cd includes a very imformative booklet and lyrics (with translation). The lyrics add so much to the music... especially for you non-Spanish speakers. Essential and very Highly recommended!
Heroes Poster
Call it the original Buena Vista Social Club. Back in 1979 a crew of Cuba's best musicians got together in Egrem Studios in Havana and recorded epic sessions that were later issued on Egrem's Areito label. Brought together by African musical impresario Raoul Diomandé, and under the direction of trombonist Juan Pablo Torres, these 30 "stars" poured their hearts into a series of long, energetic tracks (running 7 to 15 minutes apiece) that burn up the aluminum on the two CDs they are now housed on. Many names leap out of the roster: Paquito D'Rivera, Rubén González, Israel Perez, Pio Leyva, and Arturo Sandoval just for a start. They are small parts in a group that spanned three generations from across the island, and they fused the violin-based tipicas with the tres and horns of the jazzier conjuntos to create a sound that shook the city and spread out to the world. Torres's inventive arrangements and his willingness to allow for a lot of improvisation within that framework mark this as an exciting adventure. --Louis GibsonInternational Music CDs
