Klimax: Solo Tu Y Yo

Released 2008;

"Piloto and his band have always been apart from the average timba band, in part because what he produces isn’t straight up timba, often mixing rhythms from around the Caribbean, and because his recording and production technique often sounds more modern and professional than the average Cuban recording. It sounds like he spends time outside of Cuba, which he does, and on Solo Tu Y Yo, he’s doing his traditional mixing of stuff. In case non-Cuban speaking people buy the album (something that’s been on his mind from early on), it comes with a Cuban-Spanish dictionary; the music’s the same, a salsa/timba/other stuff mix, all played perfectly. There’s some Latin pop schmaltz, per usual, but when this band starts moving down the road, get out of the way. Not only is Piloto a great writer, but his drumming is as good as it gets in the idiom, which is saying something. There’s the sense of musical heaviness you hear in great bands, whether it be the Coltrane Quartet or the Rolling Stones. Piloto’s invited a bunch of people to perform, from Omara Portuondo, Pablo Milanes, Tania Pantojo, Chucho Valdez and the goddess Haydee Milanes who’s pretty much brilliant on her track, offering a new set of melodies for improvisation. Dance music doesn’t get better than this, intelligent, driving, of a place, heroic.
Highly Recommended. "
