album review

The links between African, Cuban, and Spanish rhythms, religious practices and culture are extensively featured on this 28-song anthology presenting 1970s field and studio recordings made in Cuba. The songs cover everything from celebratory carnival tunes to mambos, multi-rhythmic percussive displays, and examples of music from the Lucumi, Arara, Abakua, and Kongo divisions of Afro-Cuban music. The pace varies from blistering to almost unmeasurable, as exuberant chants, vocals, and supporting cries are punctuated by intense playing. The disc contains extensive, scholarly notes and a comprehensive account of the evolution and diversity of Afro-Cuban sounds. It's a vital addition to the growing list of seminal world music collections. ~ Ron Wynn, All Music Guide
