Alon Marcus Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 A release from 2003 called "Now is another time" by David Murray's Latin Big Band. Not a typical Murray, lots of beautiful melodies (my favorite tunes are: Sad kind of love, Crystal and Giovanni's mission), elaborate arrangements. The high note orgasms work very well, shouting above the band. Great solos by other members of the band too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAL Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) Craving more of this Afro Cuban stuff... Anyone has this set, is it worth getting or should I pick one or two of the single discs? If not the box set then which disc? Thanks! Abbilona Tambor Yoruba Complete 8 CD Package Set Description: The entire 8 CD collection. A must-have. Editor's Pick: The Abbilona series is by far the best representation of Afro-Cuban Yoruban religious voice and drum music we have ever seen. Quite frankly, the music of Santeria has never been recorded and packaged in such a comprehensive manner. This is the complete 8 CD collection. It is very hard to find and we have limited quantities. Highly recommended. Includes: Oyá Obatalá Yemayá Aggayú Changó Orisha Oko, Oddua, Ibeyis, Olokun Elegguá, Oggún y Ochosí Ochún (BP, 2000-06-12) Available at descarga.com Edited November 24, 2005 by LAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Late Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 Interesting thread here, with some posters who seem to have dropped off the scene. Been listening to Beny Moré, Armando Orefiche, and 50's Compay Segundo lately. I think I tend to like Cuban music best when its American influence is not a dominant presence (which, in the case of Orefiche, is open to debate). At any rate, using the brackets of, say, 1920-1960, any more recs for "Cuban" music? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeweil Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 (edited) There is a new 6-CD-box on Tumbao: A comprehensive documentation of the legendary Arsenio Rodriguez - a must, IMO - it's up high on my buying list for the summer. http://www.freshsoundrecords.com/record-ma...?record_id=4931 Edited May 28, 2008 by mikeweil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I ordered it. Of course, it is out of stock, but it has not been canceled, so I am keeping my fingers crossed......

Tom in RI Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Since this thread was started I've had the chance to grab some Bebo Valdes cd's which have been very good including Bebo Rides Again and Bebo de Cuba. I would also strongly recommend this one by JP Torres: http://www.amazon.com/Algo-Nuevo-S%C3%83%C2%BAper-Son-Todos-Hierros/dp/B000OLHFB2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1266794947&sr=1-3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
