Mujer de Cabaret ••••
Puerto Plata, iAso Records


According the liner notes “Puerto Plata’s Mujer de Cabaret will take you back to the golden age Dominican guitar music.” Lovers of the Gypsy Kings will want to grab this album. Fiery, tempestuous, sensuous and intoxicatingly rich of Latin flavors, “Mujer de Cabaret” is the Dominican answer to the French cabaret style music. Recorded live, the sones, boleros, and meringues that are performed here are a testament to a time gone but not forgotten, of serenades, carousing and revelry. Mr. Plata’s sweet nostalgic voice is accompanied on requinto by two of the Dominican Republic’s finest musicians, guitarists Edilio Paredes and Frank Mendez. Also performing are guitarists Martin Lavale and Rafael Olivares, José Luis Gomez (bass), Gabriel Machado (bongo), Raul Bier (bongo, tambora), Azote (tambora), Milciades Durán (guira), Daniel Luna (guira), and Jesús Alvarez (maracas).
