Hit: 3 Stars
That is what we call this album in my house.
The word 'Bossa' is misleading. My title is much more descriptive.
Some really nice slow, ballad type tunes. Nice 50's vibe. Great music to have in the background when you are working.
Bossa Cubana Poster
"Cuban doo-wop" is good shorthand for the sound of this enormously appealing quintet. But Bossa Cubana, an exhumation of 17 tracks by '60s stars Los Zafiros, is even more unpredictable than that phrase would leave you to believe. The music here carries echoes of everything from Beny More (sans horn section) to Little Anthony and the Imperials, while often sounding like a secret influence on Chris Isaak. Los Zafiros are at their most affecting when wailing and harmonizing over slow-dance tempos; listen to their Spanish translation of "My Prayer" ("Mi Oracion"), and you'll never hear the Platters quite the same way again. --Rickey WrightInternational Music CDs
