Fort Worth Star-Telegram, CD Review >>
This bilinqual British oultit combines two Caribbean styles of music - Jamaican reggae/ ska and Cuban salsa - into one upbeat, fun package. For those with memories going back to the '80s, it's reminiscent of the brassy, effervescent style of Kid Creole and the Coconuts blended with a little Warm Manu Chao, Skatalites, and some jumpin' jive jazz a la Louis Jordan or Cab Calloway thrown in for good measure. Though they occasionally are too whimsical for their own good (Chispa Tren), Ska Cubano show off a musicality on the likes of No Me Desesperes. Tungarara, Bobine and Istanbul (Not Constantinople) that proves they're not just a retro gimmick in search of exposure.
