Pupy Y Los Que Son Son - Un poquitico al revés

Klimax

Giraldo Piloto og Klimax med Es Un Peligro frå plata Nadie Se Parece A Ti.

Klimax: Nadie Se Parece A Ti

"There's funny stuff all over this record; it's dripping street. Check out the last few seconds of "La Rompeamor de La Habana," a tune about a girl that breaks up marriages. And the first tune, "La Chica Perfecta," is worth the price of admission, a flat out timba rocker that moves into a long groove section, then into breaks. Recorded in the Canary islands, the music sounds modern, with a bass that grinds more than even the regular timba style. As usual, Piloto breaks up the rhythms, moving into shuffles that sound pan-Caribbean through timba and onto to cumbias. One tune opens with a synth-accordion that sends a friendly commercial wave to Colombia; it doesn't take long for the breaks to take over, turning the cumbia into a timba-fueled roar. This is the shiznitz, top grade Cuban dance music with an eye to the outside world.
Highly Recommended."

Somos Charangueros

"Wow, get lost in the pleasures of timba, pure and simple. The real deal returns after a long time off; there hasn’t been anything this deep coming out of the timba world of Cuba in a long, long time. The shouted, rapped coros are there, telling their stories of the street, always with humor and cynicism. The band’s a huge machine, with slapping percussion driving on the ever-erratic bass figures, the constant montunos and the horn section. This is the musical glory of the '80s in Cuba, increasingly rare and valuable. There’s nothing like this, some of the last great live dance music in the world, orchestral, precise, intelligent. Michel Maza shows up as a lead singer on three tracks, and Tirso Duarte, the great pianist, shows up singing on one track. This stuff is overwhelming; it’s so detailed, so complicated. And so hard; listen to the first few bars after the break on "Se Cree Que se Las Sabe Todas," with a bluesy montuno thrusting through the music, to hear the intensity of hard driving swing. Highly Recommended."

Charanga Habanera

David Calzado Y Su Charanga Habanera: El Rey De Los Charangueros

"The album, recorded for an Italian label, starts out with the tough "El Rey," rattles with all the energy of the great Cuban band’s highly specific sound, its timba brand. Part of the group’s individuality comes from the boy band aspect of its sound, with a bunch of young voices taking the lead vocals. As usual, the miracle of their arrangements, the stuttering rhythm section dropping accents in the least predictable places, is completely in order. And on El Rey De Los Charangueros, the recording captures some of the band’s wall-of-sound, the baseball bat to the forehead quality of the band. The unity of the sound (with the exception of the voices, which are way up in the mix) relegates all the instruments to the same importance; at times it’ll almost seem as if there are two bands and two ideas competing on each track, one, the band itself, hard, unstoppable, and two, the singers. Anyway, another slice of genius, hard, hard timba dance music from Havana; this might actually be the band’s best recording. Nothing like it; it’s historical.
Highly Recommended."
