ALBUM REVIEW: VA - Cuba Le Canta A Serrat (2005)

Posted by admin on 6th Feb 2010

Gorgeous affluent and absolutely agreeable aftereffect to the acclaimed Cuba Le Canta A Serrat (2005) — a Cuban accolade to the Spanish accompanist Joan Manuel Serrat. This one appearance all new interpretations, in a deluge of styles, by Cachaito Lopez with "Guajiro" Mirabal, Osdalgia, Jose Luis Cortes Y NG La Banda, Buena Fe, Manolito Simonet, Adalberto Alvarez Y Su Son, Los Van Van, Tatá Güines & Coco Freeman, Amaury Pérez and abounding others. Recorded in Cuba in 2006 and 2007. Produced by Joan Surribas in affiliation with the Institut Catalá de les Indústries Culturals.

This one is just awash with ideas, accomplishment and artistry. Listen to Carlos Varela's hasty yield on "Cada Loco Con Su Tema." Bountiful, beautiful, and...

Cuban artists pay accolade to one of Spain's abundant political songwriters. As with abounding contempo made-for-Cuba releases, there are some ambiguous choices to attack through. The adjustment on "Por Dignidad," for example, doesn't do either Omara Portuondo or the song amends (the appellation "saxual assault" doesn't activate to call it). On the flipside, graybeards like Orquesta Aragon and Grupo Compay Segundo cascade on the aural hot sauce, and Silvio Rodriguez's accepted bloodless supply sounds altogether at home with this material.
