Customer Reviews:
In a word - awesome.......2002-07-01
I saw Chucho play live at Symphony Hall in Chicago about 3 years ago. Our seats were in the very last row, and the sound quality was just horrible...but I could hear enough to know that his group was really cooking. So I finally broke down and got "Bele Bele en La Habana", and wow, am I glad I did. Not only is the sound quality terrific (check out the bass drum kicks on La Sitiera), but the performances are just amazing. This is complex, incredible music, and has appeal that goes well beyond the confines of jazz and latin genres.
This is an amazing CD.......2002-05-08
If you like Eddie Palmieri, you must try this CD. It's more improvizational than Eddie's work but you will not be disappointed. Chucho is an amazingly talented artist and now this is my new favorite CD that I just can't stop listening to.
acquired taste.......2001-08-14
I first heard a track from Valdes' "Lucumi" album on a sampler CD and I bought "Bele Bele..." and "Briyumba Palo Congo" wanting to hear more. There's no doubt that Valdes is brilliant, but you have to enjoy lightning speed to enjoy these two recordings. Even at his most relaxed he pounds rather hard here. I'm still trying to get a copy of "Lucumi." On the track I heard there, "Adiva," Valdes seemed to combine classical with a touch of gospel--tender and thoughtful. I don't mean to downgrade his other recordings. I was just in the mood for something quieter.

If you like jazz and Latin music you will love this CD. Chucho combines the two to develop a wonderful sound.
