Free Music Notes for Introducing Ruben GonzalezFree Music Review: this cd is an ode to the joy of aging and not getting old. Hit: 5 Stars
those of us old enough to remember the great Cuban and Afro-Cuban music ( shades of George Shearing )of the '50s will fill-up on a great dose on nostalgia. How does this elder statesman of the piano do this ? To see what appears to be a frail tiny old man sit down a piano and be transformed into a master of that instrument is live giving. Listen to the music , then see the film Buena Vista Social Club, get that CD, make yourself a rum and Coke, and your in Havana.
Free Music Review: This is a marvelous recording. Hit: 5 Stars
This is a marvelous recording. It is amazing to believe that this recording was made by a Cuban All-Star who is over 70 years old! In addition, he does not own his own piano! He practices on pianos wherever they are available! Valdez's recordings reveal his classical training but also he can really swing. His renditions of Cuban classics are truly innovative and the quality of the recording is excellent! A must buy for lovers of the Cuban danzon and son montuno.
Free Music Review: EXCELLENT!!!!! Hit: 5 Stars
NO!!!! other contemporary pianist of popular music have been able to reach the level of natural talentry that Ruben Gonzalez displays. It is a shame that it took such a long time for him to be recognised as a true master - a title he rightfully earned. The shame lies on Cuba for never recognising his GREAT talents to the world as one of the greatest exports ever to come from the wonderful country of Cuba. VIVA RUBEN!
Free Music Review: Cumbanchero Hit: 5 Stars
As someone who is from hispanic descent and who grew up listening to salsa, sons, guajiras, and jibarito music from Puerto Rico, Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean, this song and album is truly a joy. I thought the Buena Vista Social Club CD was nirvana but Ruben Gonzalez has captured all the musical history of my culture and put them on this CD. I wish him another 80 years of life y "que siga la musica"!
Free Music Review: Magical! Hit: 5 Stars
Magical, is probably the best word to describe the musical talent expressed in this wonderful compact disc. Ruben Gonzalez not only provides people around with the opportunity to appreciate his talent. Perhaps, is Ruben's ability to allow us to nurture from Cuba's rich music. The selections for Introducing Ruben Gonzalez are unmatchable; his performance will remain forever in the hearts of music lovers.
