Free Music Review: Cuban Piano
Hit: 5 Stars
Lots of latin, cuban style piano music.....similar to Bebos piano, if you like piano and good latin music for listening or dancing, this is it.Free Music Review: You're more familiar with Rub?n Gonz?lez than you think
Hit: 5 Stars
This is a brilliant album. You're more familiar with it than you think: I'm sitting here at my local Starbuck's and they're playing the CD in full, 11 years after its release. It's not a one-time occurrence: you hardly ever hear the contemporaneously released Buena Vista Social Club these days, but you hear "Introducing..." everywhere and all the time. Gonz?lez passed away in 2003 at age 84, but his legend only grows. As to why Gonz?lez was discovered by worldwide audiences so late in his life, well, there was the little matter of the Revolution and 37 or so lost and buried years (1959 to rediscovery in 1996). Free Music Review: One of the best piano players of Cuban Music
Hit: 5 Stars
I liked this CD a lot because Ruben Gonzalez is one of the best pianist Cuban has produced. The music selection is excellent. I listen to the CD often. It has a combination of easy listening rhythms with exiting Afro-Cuban. I highly recomend this CD.Free Music Review: An un/rediscovered gem!
Hit: 5 Stars
Having just seen the movie "Buena Vista Social Club", I needed to hear more wonderful music from the principal musicians and singers. Special thanks should go to Ry Cooder and his son for rediscovering this historic music before they all passed.( Of whom most already have.)
All the musicians and singers are very special in their own singular, as well as collective right, but my personal favorite is Ruben Gonzalez on piano. What a Gem! I urge anyone who loves Afro-Cuban Jazz to add this to your collection, you WILL NOT be disappointed!
Free Music Review: A must buy for anyone that likes Cuban music
Hit: 5 Stars
A friend introduced me to this CD and I think I might wear it out. Three of the songs are his own compositions, while the rest of the songs are Cuban favorites. Ruben approaches these these pieces with a unique light and and lively style. The music is infectious and makes you want to get up and dance.
There is a nice variety. Unlike with some folk music where after you've heard a few songs it starts to sound the same--each song here is a gem of its own. This is one of those CDs where you will like every song.
