Urban Cuban

Amazon.com
This truly explosive mix of real Cuban music, beats, and samples is the brainchild of Tom Darnal, the former keyboard player of Mano Negra, who spent three years in Cuba working on the project, then returned to Paris and tweaked it all with DJ Sree. It was certainly worth the effort, knocking Cuban music quite definitely into the modern electronic age. Hip-hop and drum & bass sit perfectly next to son, chants, and drumming, and the rhythmically angular piano lines of Cuban jazz make sense over programmed beats. It all ends on a much quieter note (more French chanson than anything), but by then you're exhausted, anyway. And if the title track doesn't get your heart racing, check that you still have a pulse. --Chris Nickson

The latin jazz record of the year........2007-07-28

Just the day I return to Lima , he played in manhattan (Jul 17). this record is FIRE...like Live & in clave, this year bobby must win the latin jazz Grammy.

Essential addition to your Latin Jazz/Big Band library.......2007-06-13

I can't get this cd out of my car stereo - it's highly addictive! An exciting,
innovative, timeless work by the inimitable percussionist Bobby Sanabria (who knew
he was a master on the vibes and marimba too?). From classic bolero "Besame Mucho"
to Zappa's funky "The Grand Wazoo" Sanabria and his top-notch orchestra (each adding
their own distinct voice to the overall sound) take you on a ride of rhythm and
groove that reminds you Latin jazz is music of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Time
for Mr. Sanabria to finally get the Grammy that's long due him!

Wow! The most unique and fun album I've heard in a long time.......2004-07-06

This unique album combines techno and latin in a completely unpredictable way; I've never heard anything like it. And I love it. It's not for everyone, maybe, but then again I usually really DON'T like techno and these songs get stuck in my head and won't let go. It's fun, danceable, with an energy unlike anything else in my music collection. If you like world beats and want to expand your horizons, get this album!

interesting.......2003-05-27

I usually don't like techno stuff, but am a serious fan of Cuban music. This is a mix of both genres. If you are wanting to learn about Cuban music, this may not be the record you want. But if you already know enough, this is very interesting and actually quite pleasant. The techno aspect is done very tastefully.

Samba goes Electronic.......2000-08-19

P-18, pronounced PEH- DIEZ Y Ocho is party music with a third world beat. The music is an eclectic mix as the various rhythmns mixed are programmed touching on such diverse styles as reggae, son, chant, jazz, merengue, all infused with a Caribbean flavor via France with a final stop over in Cuba. The influence of Manu Chao is evident throughtout with refences to Babylon and revolutionary themes. The musical chants of the soneros are marvelously mixed with heavy electronic samples that create quite possibly the new direction of Cuban music for the 21st century. Very cool music to dance to, high energy stuff that makes you want to move as your mind and body transcend the mundane nature of everyday life. Not to be confused with tradional Cuban music or techno this is a great mix of the two to create "algo differente" or something different as P-18 says. Whether you speak French, Spanish or English the music speaks the univesal language of good times that they call Urban Cuban, street music for the masses.

CUBAN GROOVES.......2000-07-07

Well, here we have an outstanding opportunity to hear other dimension of cuban music. For the people that have some knowledge of cuban sound this gonna be an enjoyable trip, plenty of electronic moods and charged with lyrics of full "sabor latino". This is the next step after the phenomenon called Buenavista social club, an evolution that all the people with a globalized mind have expected. We can find references inside of Mexico( the disc have a hidden track that we call "corrido" that talks about the war in Chiapas) and of course about Cuba. You can feel the flavor mano negra along the entire album, but the spark that makes this album ignite is the work of the DJ, he really knows what to do with turntables, a lesson of how a song can be improved with electronic atmospheres. Anyhow, if this is your first incursion in real latin music you're in the correct way. Para toda la banda que habla español!Viva Cuba! Y a gozar el super reventón que viene incluido en el disco.Es la misma onda que trae Manu en su discazo Clandestino!Viva Chiapas!

It's out of common! and it's great!.......1999-12-14

An happy blend of techno and cuban music! What an idea. Don't be affraid, listen to it. It is an alternate way to enjoy techno, it is an alternate way to enjoy cuban music. Music to dance on. Say goodbye to commercial «supposed» latin music, like Ricky Martin or Enrique Eglesias or all the so bad midley of these short time success... To go out of the path, in the techno and in the music to dance on, try this album.

Product Description

The self-produced CD, Hyim and The Fat Foakland Orchestra features Hyim’s creative melange of world music, grooves, hip hop beats and politically minded lyrics. Hyim seems poised on the edge of a major breakthrough. With a soulful delivery that sometimes recalls Sting from the days fronting The Police, the vocalist and gifted keyboard player shifts easily from confessional introspection to funk drenched exhortation backed by the fluid support of his Fat Foakland Orchestra. Having already his acclaimed solo debut Let Out A Little Peace last year, Hyim wisely focused on grooves developed with the Fat Foakland Orchestra for this newly completed self-titled released.
