El Son Sigue Ahi (Bonus Track) ~ Celia Cruz ------   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info This is the third volume of HECHO EN CUBA, a collection of Cuban music featuring, this time around, the legendary talents of Compay Segundo and Ruben Gonzalez (both of whom rocketed to international stardom with the release of BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB). The disc also comes with enchanced video features. CD contains 1 bonus track. This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. The success of the Buena Vista Social Club movie led to the revival of the careers of several veteran Cuban singers and musicians. The three-volume Hecho en Cuba mostly features the same elderly musicians but its packaging is a bit of a nightmare. There is no mention anywhere where these selections came from or their dates, whether they have been out before (one suspects that have) or what the logic is behind this release. One can enjoy this music on its own terms, for it features fine singing from Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portunodo and Raquel Zozaya, Ruben Gonzalez's charming piano and Eliades Ochoa's guitar and voice. Even those listeners who do not understand Spanish will be able to appreciate the sincerity of the singers, the rich melodies and appealing rhythms of this folkloric music, which is closer to salsa than to Afro-Cuban jazz. But the set would have been greatly improved if there were detailed liner notes and more of a logic in its programming. ~ Scott Yanow   Technical Info Release Date : 05/24/2004 Original Release Date : 2004 Catalog ID : ISBCD5103 Label : ISBA (Canada) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00620323510323    Related Videos Sergio Mendes, Morning in...
