Just in time for sultry weather festivities, the trusty world music compilation label Putumayo has put together yet another dynamite party album. From the opening 1-2-3/1-2 clavé of Raúl' Paz' "Mua Mua Mua", which is soon overwhelmed by electronica only to re-emerge at will, the beats are as relentless as they are caressing. The set covers a lot of ground geographically, as Puerto Rican salsa, Mexican and Colombia cumbia and Cuban rumba have long since become international preoccupations, performed by local practitioners in every corner of the globe. Africando, with its blend of West African salseros and New York-based Latin all-stars, and Riccardo Lemvo's suave rumba Congolaise via LA, have repatriated rhythms that came from Africa in the first place. Belgium is an unlikely pit-stop, but Gabriël Rios' Santeria-infused "Bones Bugalu" has plenty of authenticity plus panache to spare. The grooves just keep coming, so put on those dancing shoes, snag an ice-cold forty-ouncer of malt liquor from the corner bodega and swing the night away! Part of the proceeds from this album will be donated to United For Colombia, in support of their efforts to help children who have been injured by landmines. --Christina Roden

Album Description

¡Baila!.is a global Latin party featuring salsa, cumbia, and meringue mixed with contemporary dance beats and rhythms. The party starts in the streets of Havana before hitting the road. Raul Paz kicks it off with "Mua Mua Mua," seamlessly blending the deep grooves of his native Cuba with the contemporary stylings he's picked up since relocating to France. Back in Cuba NG La Banda offer "La Cachimba" their mission statement announcing the virtues of a new musical style that's sure to make you dance. Next the party travels to Colombia, where the collective known as La-33 is revitalizing salsa by reconnecting it to the genre's golden era of the 1960s and 70s. Not to be outdone, however, New York delivers a rhythm-driven one-two punch with The Spanish Harlem Orchestra and Yerba Buena contributing the best of the old school and the new. On the West Coast, Argentinean ex-pats Los Pinguos and Congo native Ricardo Lemvo integrate various Latin elements that keep the party people on their feet.

The next stop on the party express is Belgium, where Gabriel Rios landed after leaving his native Puerto. Experimenting with a variety of influences while maintaining his deep Latin roots has made this unique musician an unlikely pop star in his adopted home. Next we travel to Stockholm, Sweden, where the high-powered ensemble Calle Real is bringing a thaw to their native city. The Africando All Stars and Brooklyn Funk Essentials round out this collection, proving once and for all that the party is right here.

A portion of Putumayo's proceeds from the sale of this CD will be donated to United for Colombia in support of their efforts to help children who are victims of landmines in Colombia.

5 out of 5 stars Perfect from start to finish!.......2007-05-31

An absolutely irresistable collection of dance salsa! The first two cuts are absolutely spectacular. Everything else is nearly as strong. There is not a throw-away on this CD. I took a Cuban Salsa dance lesson recently, and the instructor played "Mua Mua Mua" 3 or 4 times every lesson for 7 lessons, and the class never tired of it, we just loved the song more each time! The entire CD stands up well to repeated listening. It has a nice variety, with a couple tracks having a reggaeton sound, and a couple cumbias, while sticking closer to true cuban salsa rather that the Americanized club sound. Mostly though the sound is pure and true Salsa. If that is what you are looking for, this is a must have disc!

5 out of 5 stars Love Putumayo music.......2007-01-05

This is one of my favorite Putumayo cds, although I love them all. It is fun, energetic and makes my 19 month old son show us his moves! A must for music lovers.

4 out of 5 stars New Style Salsa and Latin Flavors.......2006-08-28

Putumayo always puts out a quality product, and this disc is no exception. The collection of salsa and latin rhythyms is a collection spanning several countries, but all of the tracks are lively upbeat and fun. several of the tracks include electronic elements, such as electric drumbeats and samples. This allows the listeners to see what is being done with a now classic genre to revitalize it. this new generation of Salseros breathes new life into a now-classic music style.
I would recomend this for any casual listener interested in hearing some modern style salsa music. fun to dance to and upbeat and cheery.

5 out of 5 stars TRULY A SENSATIONAL PIECE!.......2006-05-24

This music makes you want to get up and dance! The first few tracks are the best, but the whole CD is very good. I could not stop listening to son fro by africando and many more. Hide this CD because once you pop it in, your friends will never want to give it back to you. After owning gypsy caravan, afro-latino, afro latin party, salsa around the world, cuba and many more i have come to say that this is one of the best putumayo we have seen up to date. Also check out putumayo colombia-It is sure to get you dancing like you have never danced before!

4 out of 5 stars Muy bueno.......2000-10-12

Este CD es un exelente comienzo para estas dos chicas guapas que sin usar minifaldas, atraen la mirada y sin cantar palabritas de amor dulces a los oidos de los hombres solos, se los ganan de todas formas. De hecho le cantan a los hombres cantandoles a la mujer, buscan su propia identidad femenina sin caer en feminismos, no buscan la reinvindicacion de la mujer por ser mujer sino que tiran codazos para abrirse camino por ellas mismas. Tratan temas como los "amores de barra" que no son romanticos y no lo trata de forma anegdotica contando una historia, sino que lo platican tan asi como si nada. La mejor canción es en mi opinion "Entra" quiza porque es la mas metalera, pero tambien tiene una letra muy interesante. En fin, ojala que siguan con este nivel de calidad en cuanto a letras que sin ser profundas ni poeticas son muy buenas.

4 out of 5 stars An excellent album that will have you singing all day long!.......2000-09-12

Ella Baila Sola may yet prove to be the best pop group in recent Spanish music (move over Duncan Dhu and Presuntos Implicados), and their first album highlights their brilliant ability to balance stylish guitar pop and soulful ballads, even throwing in some salsa-oriented Latin numbers for the Hispanophile purist. These talented women write their own lyrics, compose their own music and play their own instruments, all the while drawing you into their particular performing style. I highly recommend this first album, which will undoubtedly prove to have a much longer shelf life than their second album, E.B.S. Enjoy the poetic flow of their ballad lyrics, especially "Lo echamos a suertes" and "Por ti". Allow yourself to get swept up in the catchy beat and cool lyrics of their upbeat songs, especially "Amores de barra" and "Muere el silencio". Finally, for a real treat with a sarcastically amusing feminist tone, enjoy "Mujer Florero". I promise you will be singing all of these songs for years to come!

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful taste of real Spanish pop.......2000-09-10

Every time I listen to this duo I like it better than the last time. This is great music, specially Amores De Barra, Cuando Los Sapos Bailen Flamenco, Mujer Florero, and Por Ti, most of which have a wistful, moody feel (except for Mujer Florero, a tongue-in-cheek song about a good little housewife). This is Spanish pop at its best, and I can't get enough of this songs, specially considering that I live in the States, where Spanish pop is reduced to the likes of Ricky Martin and Jennifer Lopez (somebody please shoot me). Even if you don't understand Spanish this is a must have for anyone with a serious interest in music, this is really a quality buy.

5 out of 5 stars Fabulous for In-your-car Scream Singing.......2000-09-09

I lived abroad in Spain for a semester and my Spanish "sisters" were always talking about this group. I broke down and bought the album (even though I didn't have a CD player with me) and fell in love with it. I kept it in my car for months and found myself "scream singing" to most of the songs, especially Amores de Barra and Mejor Sin Ti-both quite empowering. The songs are upbeat and catchy. If you don't speak Spanish you'll likely pick up the lyrics anyway. A great buy!!

I first heard this one song (Track #8)from Hubert Laws that was on cable music television: (category Smooth Jazz), and I was breathless and speechless!! I had to get the album, and to my surprise the whole album is very classy, and makes you want to listen to each track all the way through! This album is relaxing, and also makes you want to ballroom or salsa!! This is my first time owning a Hubert Laws album, and I am considering buying some of his old albums. The flute sound is very pretty in these songs. I am truly a music lover, and this album is definitely worth owning!! If you are a jazz, and latin jazz music lover, you will LOVE this CD!!!

5 out of 5 stars DEFINITIVE LECUONA RECORDINGS.......2004-09-14

Tirino's Lecuona recordings are the definitive ones for all time. The Rapsodia Cubana in particular is something that Cubans like myself will cherish for many years to come. Bravo!

5 out of 5 stars AN AUTHORITY ON LECUONA FROM ANOTHER AUTHORITY.......2001-05-14

The best review I can offer on this disc cannot be contained in my own words. I could quote from many approving and enthusiastic REAL critics from all over the world, but instead I will quote from someone who knew Maestro Lecuona all of his life. Among many handwritten letters and dedicated pictures from Lecuona to this individual, Lecuona states in one of them: “To Manolo Lamas, who has a musical spirit very few possess”. Maestro Lamas, possibly Lecuona’s best musical friend during his lifetime, (in fact-Lecuona was his godfather) INTIMATELY and EXPERTLY knows the maestro’s music. This authority has personally told me that Thomas Tirino is the BEST current living interpreter of the music of Lecuona that he knows. In fact, he says that on many occasions you cannot tell them apart. I suggest that you compare the different interpreters. I’m certain you’ll agree-and beyond that, you’ll profoundly enjoy and be dazzlingly enchanted by the pianistic talent of this wonderful concert artist. One can SENSE, above everything else, the love with which Tirino plays Lecuona’s music.

....

5 out of 5 stars Kudos for Tirino!.......2001-05-10

This 3rd volume in a series of 5 CDs by pianist Tirino is a veritable treasure, not only due to the master pianist's astounding technical proficiency, but also due to his bravura decision to include a selection of Lecuona's most famous (and demanding) pieces. Pianist Tirino has single-handedly caused an international re-birth and re-discovery of my great-uncle Ernesto's musical works. Devoting a significant number of his life to researching, compiling, transcribing, recording, and performing Lecuona's music, Thomas Tirino's execution of the composer's danzas on this CD illustrates why our family recognizes him, among all post-Lecuona interpreters, as the standard bearer of the composer's music. Tirino's musical prowess shines throughout the valses and contradanzas included in Vol. 3. To listen to this recording is to return nostalgically to those idyllic nights I spent as a youngster in Cuba, listening to my uncle Ernesto perform his pieces at either his farm outside Havana or during his frequent concerts at Havana's theaters, such as the Teatro Payret or Marti. Astounding in his affinity to capture the "zandunga" or flavor in Lecuona's arpeggios and rhythmic nuances, Tirino clearly demonstrates why I, along with the remaining members of the Lecuona family, consider him to be the most representative interpreter of this great body of work. This volume is also important because it introduces and illustrates a side of the Lecuona repertoire not generally known to pianists outside of Cuba and Spain. This CD should be considered a "must" buy for both the serious student of Lecuona music as well as the casual fan of his great repertoire.

5 out of 5 stars "The real thing" Lecuona Reincarnated.......2001-05-09

This is one of my favorite recording of ALL TIME. Torino's sound is beautiful and his playing shows great skill and total command of the style found in this music. Anyone who says it otherwise is ignorant. Torino is the real Reincarnation of Lecuona. The edit notes on his recording are transcriped from Lecuona's own recording and are welcome edition. What a contribution he has madel to future generation of artists! I am buying the rest of the CDs in the serie. Highly recommmanded!

5 out of 5 stars Bravo!.......2001-05-09

Volume 3 of The Complete Piano Music (of Ernesto Lecuona) by Thomas Tirino contains some of the richest interpretations of the piano music of the great Cuban master I have ever heard. In particular, the orchestration of the Rapsodia Cubana is a work of inspiration. Through his considerable pianistic talent and scholarship, Mr. Tirino lends a sophisticated, international touch to this wonderful music that only an artist of his calibre could. The result is music that transcends ethnic and cultural borders and brings the listener into the world of pure sound.

As a youngster, Félix Baloy was influenced by the great Cuban sonero Beny Moré and made a living singing until the Cuban revolution, after which he laid low until the mid-'70s when he resumed his career with the great Elio Revé. Eventually he ended up vocalizing for the Afro-Cuban All Stars, many of whom back him on this satisfying solo debut. Excellent as the band is, this is Baloy's record, showing all his chops, whether singing in a free upper range, scatting, or simply being gloriously melodic. The music ranges from the driving montuno of the title cut to the rhythmic Afro-Cuban guaguanco-changüi of the closer, "Misericordia, ¡No Aguanto!" Add to that a spry duet with Teresa Garcia Caturla (who's worked with Ibrahim Ferrer) on "Mami Te Gustó" and you have a sparkling record with unstoppable grooves and swing--the kind of debut that's the dream of every artist, even if they are 56 years old. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars Afro Cuban Music at its very best.......2002-04-17

This is my third album by the Afro Cuban All Stars, and one of the very best in my Cuban collection. This stuff is HOT.

I cannot say enough in praise of Juan de Marcos González, for it was HE who brought together the Buena Vista Social Club project and made it happen. González has a unique talent for bringing together the greatest musicians and singers available, then orchestrating the most outstanding Cuban music so as to present it in a way that is sure to delight music lovers everywhere. Fans of Afro Cuban music will find none better.

His Afro Cuban All Stars are a somewhat fluid ensemble that has featured such Cuban greats as Teresa Garcia Caturla, Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González, Amadito Valdez, "Cachaito" López, Barbarito Torres, and "Guajiro" Mirabal, among others.

Imagine my disappointment when the events of September 11th caused the Juan de Marcos and his group to cancel a US tour for which I already had third row tickets at Cincinnati's best concert hall!!! I was heartbroken and, to console myself, had to spend my refund on more CD's.

5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful CD.......2002-01-22

I agree with the previous reviewer who compared this to the Buena Vista Social Club and the Afro Cuban All Stars CDs. As a person with over 600 CDs in my collection, I can clearly say that this is one of the best and as good as the Afro Cuban All Stars two previous releases which were also outstanding. Well recorded and mixed, this CD will give you a smile and will get you on your feet. Highly recommended.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent!.......2002-01-14

Those already familiar with the Buena Vista Social Club ("BVSC") already have an idea of what to expect with this one. Those who are familiar with the Afro-Cuban Allstars have an even BETTER idea of what to expect.

Felix Baloy teamed up with the Afro-Cuban Allstars on their releases and laid down some brilliant vocals. Here, he takes on a more "solo" effort. Really though, it's the Afro-Cuban Allstars (and the incredible Juan De Marcos Gonzalez) backing him up.

Those who know, Afro-Cuban Allstars are a more up-tempo, jazzier take on what the BVSC is doing. The songs are much more dancier, salsa oriented. The mellow stuff is best found on the BVSC release, or any of the solo efforts by members of the BVSC (i.e., Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo, Ruben Gonzalez, Omara Portuondo, etc.). This stuff is for dancing and getting the fiesta started.

If you aren't familiar with the BVSC or Afro-Cuban Allstars, but ARE familiar with anything in the "Cubanismo" series, you can compare this release to that kind of stuff. However, in my humble opinion, this (and every other BVSC or Afro-Cuban Allstars release) is MUCH, MUCH better than the Cubanismo series. And, I will admit, that is saying a great deal because the Cubanismo series isn't bad at all.

In short, get this, get this, get this! It's much harder to come by than any of the other releases I mentioned, but it is sooooooo very worth having. A must in your collection.

4 out of 5 stars Ven a bailar. Tu gustara este album........2000-12-06

This was my second Cuban album after Buena Vista Social Club. However these tracks are far more dance-able than BVSC: everything from Cha Cha Cha to Meringue and Salsa.

For those who know the music of Felix Baloy - this is another "feel-good" album - brilliant for getting you in the mood for an evening of going out, or for getting you up in the morning.

Give it a listen - maybe not a classic, but good enough to get you dancing and get you listening to it again and again.

Enjoy it!

This music is intoxicating, like some soundtrack to an indie film, cult classic. You've got to check this out. If you like Jazz, Latin, Jewish, Eastern European, Gypsy, -- any of the above, you're going to find this music intriguing.

Sharing it with family:
-----------------------

My younger brother likes Coletrane, Monk, Classical, etc. and thought this stuff was fascinating. My poor dad - country, 60s rock fan - just sat staring at me wondering aloud "What is this?" Exactly! People with all sorts of taste will want this in their music collection. It's eclectic and sensuous, the kind of music you're going to play at parties and want to share with friends and family. If you like to dance, don't miss this treat.

5 out of 5 stars Brilliant followup to El Canzon de Moises.......2004-07-17

Though it lacks the all-star line-up of his pretty spectacular first outing, El Danzon De Moises, NY Downtown percussionist Rodriguez seems more easily at home on this disc with this hybrid music--Jewish/Cuban. Sticking with a single group of musicians throughout (leader Rodriguiz, percussion; Matt Darriau, clarinet, Bulgarian kaval, tin whistles, and Chinese trumpet; Curtis Hasselbring, trombone; Ted Reichman, accordion, Hammond B3, and Leslie organs; Meg Okura, violin; Sam Bardfeld, violin; Mary Wooten, cello; Brad Jones, bajo sexto, and Roberto Luis Rodriguez, trumpet, valve trombone, and bombard), he achieves a more consistently rendered soundscape, one combining the best of both worlds: the joyous, jazzy dance vibe of Afro-Cuban and the mournful melancholy of Jewish sensibilities.

Which proves to be a very potent brew--kinda the best of both worlds, each remaining true to its cultural insights but resonating marvelously with its opposite. Thus, you get a huge range of feeling not only throughout the entire disc, but usually on each number. The typical result is a mysterious sensibility partaking of each element but magically transcending both.

Certainly worth checking out by anyone at all interested in either of these marvelous world musics.

    5 out of 5 stars Amazing Spanish Female Duet.......2004-09-24

    The music these two girls make is just awesome... They're powerful ballads with a lot of meaning, if you take the time to listen to (and translate) the lyrics. There's also a couple of upbeat songs, making this record a well-balanced album. The combination of their voices will definitively cause an impression on you. A welcome import from Spain.
