The Gazette-Montreal, CD Set Review >>

The expert musicians of the starkly beautiful Buena Vista Social Club had careers before Ry Cooder's recording of Cuban music brought tham a generation of new fans.  Now the legends of traditional Cuban son have reappeared in a 10-volume Cuban Essential series, a best of compilation featuring six decades of music made by the likes of Ibrahim Ferrer, who died in August, Rebun Gonzalaz, Omara Portuondo, Eliades Ochoa, Compay Segundo, and Chucho Valdez amoung others.  Each CD highlights an artist collection.  Escondida sees the collection, which is fully remastered from the orginals, as the "Motown of Cuba."  12/10/05
