Review

These mid-'80s dates present the genuine dance and ritual music of Cuba, with African roots and influences intact. These are frenetic, multirhythmic, explosive songs, delivered without an ounce of self-consciouness, pretension, or any other emotion except earnestness and honesty. The 11 tracks include rumba, guaguanco, columbia and yambu, each idiom performed by musicians who've grown up in the tradition and been immersed in it so thoroughly that their devotion registers throughout each cut. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
