CUBAN MUSIC WITH DIGNITY!.......2001-01-10

Marlene Urbay and her collaborators, fronting the Florida Chamber Orchestra, have come up with a real Cuban classic... Each title included in this CD is a piece of Cuban history rescued by Ms. Urbay from the "never never music land" to which it had been condemmed by the current marketing trends led by novelty acts and second rate aging vocalists from the Island, all passing among foreigners as "true Cuban music" I don't think anything similar to Urbay's "Memories of Cuba" have been done in the past 40 years... The only thing that comes close is the magnificent "In A Cuban Garden" recorded by the immortal Gonzalo Roig back in the 1950's. It is a great fortune that with the current recording technologies Urbay & Orchestra can deliver this beautiful music in all its richness and uniqueness. In short this is a masterpiece that should be in everybody's collection, specially those who claim to love and know Cuban music...
