Customer Reviews:

Nice selection.......2001-11-27

There are a lot of Irakere compilations out there, and most of them are very different from each other.
This one is not very comprehensive regarding the different stages of the group, but it is comprehensive in the sense of reflecting the band styles perfectly.
There's a lot that has been said about this cuban supergroup describing their sound as a mixture of cuban traditional with jazz and classical. The CBS compilation The Best of Irakere gives more importance to their cuban-latin roots more than anything, but "Toda Cuba baila con... Irakere" gives a much better perspective on the band featuring a version of Scott Joplin's "The entertainer", "Estela va estallar" (by the way, one of the very best compositions by Chucho Valdés) , variations on a Beethoven opera and a Mozart Adagio, and of course their best known piece "Misa Negra".
