Issac Delgado

Her er Issac Delgado frå Latin Grammy Street Party 2007 med låta Medley frå plata En Primera Plana.



Issac Delgado Y Su Grupo: En Primera Plana

"Delgado, one of the Caribbean’s great singers, one of the great singers of the 20th century, the Frank Sinatra of salsa and leader of one of the great bands of his time, has moved to Florida, and the first thing he’s done is record a classic salsa album that if all is well in the world, will give him a great career here for the rest of his natural life. Because there’s nothing like his singing, his sense of swing, his rhythmic assuredness, his melodic invention; it’s all so casual, laden with sensuality. The first track has Delgado singing with Victor Manuelle, and it’s a track that could go on for twenty minutes, their trading is so inspired. Delgado and Sergio George produced the record, with help from Alain Pérez, the bassist and arranger who was so integral to the success of what’s considered one of the great timba bands of all time, Delgado’s band from ’97.
But this music isn’t timba, it’s salsa with great coros, perfect tempos, and a pile of great singing from Delgado; I’d argue that En Primera Plana is his best album yet. And there are guests, including Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Giovanni Hidalgo, the rapper Fragancia and Cachao. Luis Quintero handles much of the percussion, and Pérez plays the bass on most tracks; it’s all touched by dance music perfection. Check out the breaks on "Sone/La Campana", with break after break, and thick, full coros rocking the place. Or the mambo on "Vengo Veneoso", which breaks into a rumba, Delgado’s voice shifting subtly, moving into the environment of the rumba for a second or two. There’s even a tres on a track or two (one track’s a changui); on Paquito Va, the piece explodes in the glories of a huge coro and the same sized horn section, working over George’s specialty the caballo rhythm.
Delgado could have gone in 14 different directions for this new album. He easily could have made a pop album, or a folk-ish album for the Anglo NPR market, or pandered to the reggaeton market. Instead he’s made a hard salsa album, an album for Latin audiences, one aimed at the radio, with an immense honesty, plus a bunch of dignity. And let me tell you, the proof of the music’s power is simple: I reach for the music whenever I want to hear something. It’s in the cd player all the time, all day and all night.
Highly Recommended, a major work by a major figure."

Paulito FG y su Elite

Paulito FG y su Elite i eit konsertopptak frå Havanna med låta Que Mania frå plata Te Deseo Suerte.




Paulito FG: Te Deseo Suerte

"Timba, especially professional timba, is such a rare commodity these days, it's almost shocking to hear it. Along comes Paulito with a new record, the first in a long time-pointing out the problems of recording music of a certain quality in Cuba-and when it gets going it's very, very good. It's slick, and well thought-out and the musicianship is extraordinary, with the bassist giving a class on how to play the modern bass in Afro Cuban music. As usual, Paulito's voice is as good as anything in Cuban music, thin perhaps, but agile, floating at times, then zapping some rhythms with the assuredness of a bomb going off. He's also instantly identifiable; it's not just his ability, but also his personality that comes through in his singing; it puts him in the top level of singers singing in Spanish. “Te Deseo Suerte” has plenty of soft moments, with lots of acoustic guitar sprinkled over the music as if it needed to be made pleasant for the pop market. It's too bad, but the schlock is well worth ignoring to find out what one of Cuba's best singers and thinkers has been up to recently. Highly Recommended.

Elio Reve Jr Y Su Charangon med låta Fresquecito frå plata med samme tittel.



Fresquecito

"Ah, the real deal that makes everything else pale. Here’s one of Cuba’s long standing bands, and one of the better bands in that country, a band that will come to your hometown and scramble the minds of your better musicians. It is, as some have said about some American music, ragged but right. If one is looking for what’s slick or smooth, go elsewhere. This stuff is non-stop intense, slightly maniacal, with endless rhythm arrangements, coro after coro, breakdowns, everything stacked on everything, just a riot of bandleading and crowd riling. Can’t help but loving it, and if there are any complaints about the typically average Cuban recording quality, turn this up, just like it deserves. This is history.
Highly Recommended."
