Pop Culture Press, CD Review >>
This record will be absoultely irresistible for people who appreciate ska, Cuban music, or who just love infectious upbeat music. The Ska Cubano project came together when British music impresario Peter Scott brought London-based ska musician Natty Bo to Santiago, Cuba to play ska music with Cuban musicians. This led to the meeting of Bo and singer Beny Billy, who sings in a style eerily similar o the late great Cuban crooner Beny More. The Cuban musicians were unfamiliar with ska music, since the access to other Caribbean musical style dried up after the 1959 revolution, but many of the stylistic origins of ska, that go back to the pre-Castro days were well-known to the older Cuban musicians. The result is a seamless mix of ska rhythms, blaring Cuban jazz horns, and Beny Billy's deft crooning. "Big Bamboo" sounds destined to become a standard for ska bands everywhere. 02/04/07 >> go there
