4 out of 5 stars Cuba Lives!.......2005-09-20

This Cd is a great chance to know the Afro-Cuban Music in your best executations. Listen the trio playing makes me think "Yeah! I wanna know this place!"

1 out of 5 stars .... HYBRID CD is a joke !!.......2003-09-11

...The surround sound on this disc in non-existent. There is NO center channel on the multi channel layer. If you are serious about multi channel recordings this is the worst ... This label should be ashamed of itself to mislead the public into thinking this is some kind of new level in recorded music. ...

5 out of 5 stars THE CONGA KINGS-Vol.2- "JAZZ DESCARGAS".......2002-10-15

In their second album for Chesky, "THE CONGA KINGS" prove they are the Conga Kings. Candido, Patato and Giovanni are at their best in this sequel and now this magnificent ensemble got even better with Chocolate Armenteros on trumpet. His performance on Chano Pozo's "Tin Tin Deo" is one of his very best ever.
Don't miss this great CD by "THE CONGA KINGS", I guarantee it will become a favorite in your collection!

5 out of 5 stars Great way to start listening to Afro-Cuban music.......2001-11-21

Humbled by the opportunity to be the first of (I believe) many who will praise this disk. With apologies for all the afro-cuban music I haven't heard, this is the best I've ever heard. It sounds like an inspired gathering of these legendary performers on a day when everyone was very, very into the groove, muy muy en el gran tumbao.I would compare it with some of the best American jazz albums I've ever heard (vintage Lester Young, Holiday, Armstrong, Oscar Peterson -- in their modes). I believe it might be a superb introduction to afro-cuban because the rhythmic layers are, in this case, transparent -- you hear these rhythms as the modes of musical thinking they have always been. But the horns, flutes and tres (sort-of guitar) lines "overhead" are the best I've ever heard in this genre, particularly Chocolate's trumpet solo on "Tin Tin Deo."
