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.

I didn’t hear any complaint about not having that Soundcloud-player
anymore. I suppose nobody really misses it. Maybe we’ll have
another player some day, for now just download and listen.

Duo Los Compadres was formed by Lorenzo Hierrezuelo in 1947.
Second voice and ‘tres’ was taken care of by Compay Segundo.
We hear them performing on this album which was a re-release
from during the seventies. Can you tell us the year of the
original release ? Listen and enjoy in the mean time.

Abelardo Barroso y la Sensación were an institution
within the marvelous music of Cuba. In their days
this was a famous record and today it is pure history.
It goes for rediculous prices on the web so, take it

One of my favourite latin voices belongs to Celina Gonzalez.
Together with her husband Reutilio they form this historic duo.
On Suaritos we have this delightful album, it contains some
of their all time greatest songs. La casa de Yagua for instance,
or Cita en el Platanal, are just two of the 14 magnificent tracks.
Glad to spread the word on this splendid LP, Get it now !

Happy New Year to all of you !
Thank you for your kind wishes and let’s make 2011
a new musical share-year like none before, long live the internet.
To start off, an album on Kubaney with music from the Dominicans.
Brothers Cuco and Martin Valoy are back with a fine LP of son and
guajira. Recover slowly with this laid back latin sound.

10 Mariposita nocturna
11 Nadie me quiere

From the Dominican republic we have this album by Duo
Los Ahijados. The brothers Cuco and Martin Valoy are back
with this volume 7 on Soul Posters. Mellow son Cubano.

From 1979 on Sacodis we’ve got this one. Amadou Balake knew
exactly who to turn to when he went to the Big Apple. Great line-up
with Aboudou Lassissi’s crew. Fun to hear Amadou go crazy in
track no.5, CHOCOLATE !!!, LASSISSI !!! Don’t miss it. Listen.

Next in line here at the Global Groove is this album by Duo

from the Dominican Republic. That’s more or less all I can tell about
this LP, and of course that it’s a great listen for you summer evening.

This is a re-post. I did this album at the very beginning of the GG
experience. Papaito and Roberto Torres are both great singers in
Son-Cubano. On this LP one presents the other but also participates,
Roberto Torres can be heard in the backing vocal section. This is the
type of Latin music I can’t seem to get around, sweet son…azucar..

2 Caramelo a kilo
3 Que no muera el son
