Orquesta Revé – El Ritmo Changüi
Let’s forget about the vuvuzela’s and concentrate on music instead of football for now.
I first heard the music of Orquesta Revé through ‘La Explosion del Momento!’.
( small picture )
It was released in 1989 on Peter Gabriel’s Realworld label. Changüi is a form
of ‘Cuban son’, and was played only in the eastern parts of Cuba. I quote the
late Elio Revé, founder of this group and the one who re-invented changüi. “I play
son-changüi: they call me the father of changüi – although changüi has been around
far longer than I have. Changüi is a very old and traditional form…The son left the
eastern provinces and, via Havana, went around the world; but changüi has just
stayed at home untill I took it to town and dressed it up.”
On this LP we don’t hear the distinctive voice of old Elio Revé, his son Elio jr. is
following up his father but I am not sure if he is the one we hear on this album.
It doesn’t give any information on the subject so we have to guess. If you can
shine a light on the matter, please do. One way or another, although this LP has
quite a dark and sad cover, the music is a lot brighter. If anyone knows anything
about it, let us participate in that knowledge, thanks folks, listen.

Hi, when I click on “promo” I get a web page with a message that states in part: “The file you requested has been removed from MediaFire for a violation of our Terms of Service or our Acceptable Use Policy.” How is this possible with a vinyl LP? I really would like to have a copy of this music. Elio Revé is incredible! And the only reason I know this is because of other vinyl you have provided. I even found the CD you mention and purchased it. Thanks for your great blog!

Wow, thanks for fixing that so quickly. Koffi Olomide and Orquesta Revé to start the new year–if this is an indication or a sign, then I’d have to say that 2012 is going to be a great year! Thanks again, Moos!
