Magnificent Sound of old Havana.......2002-10-18

This is the finest compilation of traditional Cuban music on the market. Each selection is brilliantly chosen and features marvelous playing, fantastic arrangements of these mostly classic tunes, and superb singing. By turns foot-stomping, hip-swaying, and heart-rending, this disc is a must for aficinados, and a wonderful introduction to this soulful music for those just beginning to sample its joys and splendors.
