Customer Reviews:

an assortment with some gems in it !.......2001-06-30

My absolute favorite is Caridad Cuervo with the Conjunto Caney, singing a cha-cha, "Eres la Candela"...one of those tracks that gets the "repeat" function a lot. Celeste Mendoza's "Mi Rumba Echando Candela" is also terrific, as is "Eso no es Na" by Marýa Teresa Vera, a legendary singer with a career that spanned nearly 30 years, ending in the early '60's.

You'll wonder what hit you with the Orquesta Revý's "Fifi, Tetý y Popý"...it's kind of 50's American pop/rock 'n' roll...both the Orquesta Original de Manzanillo, and Pancho El Bravo ("Mis Compadres Puntean Son" is wonderful) are charangas, with that great Cuban flute playing.

Los Van Van are perhaps the most well known name on this CD, with more of a "modern" style, though my preference is for the older sound, like the Conjunto Rumbavana's "No Me Llores", which is among my favorites on this recording...an odd-ball compilation, it's certainly unique, and who can resist "Eres la Candela" !
