CD Reviews

This 1963 album is great fun, but --
Michael Knowles | Oakland, CA USA | 03/05/2001
(4 out of 5 stars)

"If you were looking for the _Tremendo Cumban_ album by Machito and his Afro-Cuban Orchestra which was recorded in New York from 1949 to 1952, this CD is NOT THE ONE. The album you are looking at was recorded later in stereo and first released in 1963. Only two songs are the same on the two different albums. The older album available from Tumbao Cuban Classics has 20 songs and this newer one has 12. On the good side, these songs are very fun, catchy and sexy -- the band is hot! Graciela Perez sings her heart out with Machito and the boys. And the sound quality is excellent, given the time period. On the minus side, you are missing some great early cuts including a number featuring Mitch Miller on "Oboe Mambo"."
