"1. Are you intelligent? 2. Do you like Latin music? 3. Do you dislike stupid Latin music?If your answer to all of the above questions is "yes", then you have to get this CD. This CD is an instrumental work featuring some Cuban classics and a killer jam session. Play it softly and you will enjoy it. Crank it up and you will enjoy it.This is one of the finest Cuban ("Latin" if you insist) music records you will ever hear--great, and I mean great, music and no annoying lyrics to screw it up. The players are some of the best known performers in the genre, who happen to live in the West Coast.The recording quality is also very good (as you would expect from the Narada label). You can hear everything clearly."
Tasty flavor

"a true delight for any music lover, specially if you are looking for that jazzy touch. Cuba L.A. is the recopilation of old cuban songs, made in America by a group of talented latin musicians. The mix of the cuban mambo, as well as other rithmic tunes, with our American jazz show that music not only ignore politics, but rather demands comunication between cultures. A must!, in any jazz true afficionado's collection."
Fabulous cd! I defy anyone to sit still listening to this!

"I only decided to give this cd a try because I found out Alberto Salas worked on it. I have admired his work on Raul Malo's "Today" and Los Super Seven "Canto". His piano style is very fresh and exciting...every musician on this cd is his equal! What a great band. The music is gorgeous, the production is excellent.
Can't really pick a favorite track as all are amazing!"
