Product Description
Cuba's most influential music is a style called son, born from West African rhythms that came to the Caribbean with slaves who were brought to work on Spanish sugar plantations. Putamayo Presents Cuba is a wide-ranging introduction to the sounds of this remarkable island. Thorough and well-researched liner notes point you beyond the ten tracks on this excellent sampler. Ibrahim Ferrer and Eliades Ochoa, who became known to many American music fans for the first time as part of the Buena Vista Social Club, kick off the collection. From funky grooves to romantic ballads, this is the best of Cuban son.
