Different & New Cuban Sound.......2007-02-07

Just Love It! Me gusta mucho. Alexis' voice is evocative and the lyrics are wonderful. Yes all this Pop with old style
Mambo & ChaChaCha.

Great Recording!.......2006-12-21

To address other negative comments made of this album: Duke Ellington once said "If it sounds good, it IS good."

I am a musician and I have a critical ear. This album sounds good. It doesn't matter how it is classified.

can't wait to hear more.......2006-10-18

Very good record. Even though this is much more polyrhythmic than the music of Silvio Rodriguez, you can tell he knows that music's lyrics well. I think the lean arrangements are what makes the music sound fresh. My only two complaints: 1) the strings are a distraction, obviously added onto already-existing arrangements that can stand on their own, and 2) the two duets are lousy...they seem forced and awkward.

Fantastic.......2006-05-30

I met this guy in a busy cafe in San Francisco. He offered to share a table since we were both alone. After talking to him and hearing how he described his music and his inspirations, I was intrigued. I listened to all the tracks and am going to order this cd. I think my husband, who is also Cuban, is really going to enjoy it. Not only does he make great music, but he was a really nice guy and very excited about his craft.

Homo de tabaco is Good!.......2006-04-30

This guy is what the new wave in Cuba is all about. All the songs are good. If you like the traditional songs with some serious acoustic (Pancho Amat) tres, and Chucho Valdes on piano with a great conga player this is for you. I heard it for the first time here in Eastern Europe. It has a good rhythm similar to the R&B with a blend of sonmontuno. The music is inspiring to the tobacco smoker. Buy it!
