Excellent intro to Cubana Music
I was literaly stunted when I listened to this album the first time. I was just looking for some new dance music and what I got was some crazy good new innovative sound. I immediately purchased this album and I have been rocking out every since. The sound is fresh and innovative and it is good blend of history cubana sound with some really new rap and reggaeton sounds. Please enjoy!Also seller and product service was fantastic. Nuff said!

Viva La Revolucion
The only successful invasion of Cuba from the USA has been from the army of Jazz musicians that crossed their shores defying the embargo, the result was the fusion of African rhythms and Latin beats producing Afro Cuban Jazz. Artists such as Dizzy Gillespie were treated as dignitaries by the Cuban authorities as he played free venues and as he subsequently found out going through customs having forgot his passport, the guards laughed telling him Dizzy Gillespie needs no passport to enter Cuba.Disk 1 highlights this fusion of African and Latin music with covers of Fela Kuti's track Roforofo Fight and Kenny Dorham's Afrodesia.Disk 2 gives us a more up date Cuban sound but perhaps requires the influence of a second generation of African Americans to give it more of a groove.
