Rumba Sin Fronteras

Amazon.com
The Cuban-born percussionist Pancho Quinto, better known in the States as the powerful hand drummer behind saxophonist/flautist Jane Bunnett, is an artist devoted to tradition and innovation. He's master of Afro-Cuban rumba rhythms, but his unique guarapachangeo style, which combines the box-like cajon and the cylindrical bata drums, places him in his own category. On this CD, which translates Rumba Without Frontiers, Quinto is joined by an impressive list of Cuban and American musicians, featuring pianist Omar Sosa, Bay-area percussionist John Santos, the babalao singer Octavio Rodriguez, saxophonist Enrique Hernandez, and vocalists Lazaro Rizo and Guillermo "El Negro" Triana. They create a splendid and syncopated recording that is ancient as Mother Africa's ancestral anthems and modern as Americas 21sr century hip-hop beats. Tracks like "La Gorra" and the kalimba-coded "Sosa En El Pais De Las Maravillas" best represent that electro/folkloric fusion, while "Bolero En Medio Del Carnaval," "A Esos Senores," and "Aspirina" showcase the best of Cuba's secular and sacred syncopations. With verve and vision, Pancho Quinto proves that the African extension in the Americas provides an unending supply of inspiration and invention. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Rumba Rumberos.......2006-01-31

Great Rumba, some different styles but still staying within the Rumba genre. Pancho Quinto's percussion is great, I could practice the rest of my life and not even come close. He tells a story and you can feel it. If you want to hear some good Rumba check this CD out. If you are looking for something maybe more commercial this may not be the right CD. I think it is something that the more you listen to it the more you recognize the complexity and genius to it.
