DAVID ALVAREZ/Clandestino: Right from the opening chords, it's easy to mistake this session for vacation music, and maybe there is an under current of such running through it. However, this is some contemporary, indigenous Cuban music by a young vocalist that knows how to evoke the good old days of local romantic balladry. With a crew of first call Cuban players lined up behind him, this is as far from Ricky Ricardo music as you can get and still be on the same island, tasting the same type of time frame. A killer set of out of the ordinary music for gringo ears that easily sweeps you up in it's proceedings. Any one with open and searching world beat ears will just go nuts for this. Check it out. 02/22/12 >> go there
