4 out of 5 stars Cuban Music Story.......2005-06-28

I really liked this album, in particular songs # 1, 2 and 7. Difinitely recommend.

1 out of 5 stars Big disappointment.......2003-02-14

I've read the book "Rough Guide to Cuban Music" and I was looking forward to listening to this CD. Well, I feel I've wasted my money. Nothing caught my ear :-( The song selection looked good, but for every song I knew, the interpretation on this CD was awful. Listen to "El Carretero" on Buena Vista Social Club CD or listen to "Al Vaiven de Mi Carreta" on "Putumayo Presents: Cuba" and you'll know what I mean.

I'm sure this CD's producer has chosen the worst (cheapest?) versions of other songs as well. I can only guess if he has no musical taste at all or just didn't have the money to produce a decent CD for the book.
