Yesterday I got so pleasantly surprised. I watched that
wonderful animated picture that flellow blogger ‘Coleção
de Sons’ posted recently. Chico & Rita is a movie that plays
in Cuba in the 1940’s. It contains passages dealing about
the great Chano Pozo. Now it is not a habbit of mine to post
music from CD, but in this case I must make an exception.
Check out this superb album on ‘Tumbao’. You can find loads
of Cuban classics on that label, highly recommended. Listen.

P.S.
At first I didn’t realize I already posted it back in 2009.
Other copy, slightly different cover.
This one’s more dynamic.

Once more I am presenting you an album by a group I can’t
tell you anything useful about. There is a certain link with
the music of Angola but I do not know which. Names like
Clotaire, Kimbolo, Samba Mascott, Claude Bivoua,
Saboukoulou or Pie Aubus, they don’t ring
a bell. Enjoy listening..
