Album DescriptionThis edition of our Musica Original de Cuba series presents Los Rufinos, one of the most popular acts in the golden days of 1950?s Havana. A quartet of incredible voices featuring impeccably close harmonies, they quickly became stars of early Cuban television and nightclubs. It was no coincidence that their voices were so incredibly matched for this was a family group consisting of Mama Rufino, Papa Rufino, son Carlos and daughter Julie. Their infectious live show offered them opportunities to tour the best stages in the United States, Europe and Latin America ? yet for all their legendary status, their exists very few recordings of their magical sound and unique brand of vocal gymnastics. The twenty tracks that make up this CD were compiled from two rare sessions - one recorded in Havana for the FAMA label in the early 1950?s and one recorded in Miami in the early 1960?s. This CD provides a rare glimpse into the magic of one of the most popular and unique acts to ever grace a Cuban stage.
