2 out of 5 stars If you like Cuban music maybe you should go for a Cuban band..........2005-09-08

If you like Cuban music maybe you should go for a Cuban band...
Not much else to say about it; most of this guys have visited Cuba only after years and years of playing Cuban music. Isn't that a bit silly? Good musicians, well played music... in other words - a very average experience

5 out of 5 stars Who woulda thought??.......2001-11-11

Here's a terrific Latin music band--of all Croatian musicians!! These guys really know how to cook. Included in the group is vocalist Ricardo Luque, a native Venezuelan, who adds an authentic flavor to the mix, but all instrumentalists are Eastern Europeans who have obviously studied hours and hours of Cuban music and learned their lessons extremely well.

On two tracks, famous Cuban vocalist Yolanda Duke--from the band of the late lamented Tito Puente--sings her heart out, and on four tracks, conguero Carlos Soto (played with Ray Barreto, Willie Colon, and Eddie Palmieri) does a masterful job with percussion.

The guys do a great Latin rendition of Sonny Rollins' tune St. Thomas, and a spirited treatment of the Pancho Sanchez classic Yumbambe, as well as a bolero dating back to Cuba's pre-Castro days. Also included are their great covers of Dizzy Gillespie's Groovin' High and Gershwin's Summertime.

If you want something really different that is a fantastic homage to the rhythmic power and excitement of Latin jazz, look no further. You won't be disappointed.

Excellent music. If you like it, try to get their latest CD entitled "Motivo Cubano", which they recorded with Buena Vista Social Club.
