Summary: Very Unexpected.... Very Good
Comment: I am a great fan of Ry Cooders wonderful guitar playing and was expecting something more in the "Bop
till you drop" or "Slide area" vein. This is very different and a huge surprise. Having said that
it was a very pleasant surprise. Within 30 seconds of the first track I was hooked, this is real
Latin music and takes me back to my visits to Latin America. What really impresses me is the high
standard of all the tracks, some I like more than others, but the overall quality is high and the
musicianship is second to none, everything you would expect from Cooder. In short "The best CD I
have bought this year". Enjoy.

Summary: Absolutely fantastic - everyone should have one!
Comment: A truly amazing album, full of quality music which is impossible to dislike. There are obviously
tracks which stand out as something special among the many on this album, "Chan Chan" and "El
Carretero" especially. The album is tinged with the magic touches of many previously forgotten
Cuban musicians, from the bubbly Ibrahim Ferrer, alongside Compay Segundo and Eliades Ochoa , to,
of course, the genius that is Ruben Gonzalez. Their personalities shine through in this pure
music, and one can sense that they enjoyed making this record as much as fans love their music.
Viva el son de cuba!

Summary: Simply the best
Comment: When a friend gave me this record, I thought "well, one more record to keep with the others I never
listen to..." I was wrong. What I find in this record, to put into few words, is its
"addictiveness". The more I listen to it, the more I like it. And I must confess that never came
to my mind enjoy cuban music! Its really a revelation to me.

Customer Rating:

Summary: truly likeable to just about everyone.
Comment: In a way, this brings the "music" back to popular music. It's not about the personality of the
artists, and it doesn't contain any overt allegiance to fashion, politics, etc - the melodies and
instruments are allowed to dominate the experience alone. It's absolutely listenable - the first
track is particularly haunting, which is a big incentive to pop it in the CD player. It's cerainly
a surprise hit - but maybe it's just what we all needed right about now.
