Manolito Simonet Y Su Trabuco
Egrem Music Cuba, 2005
Manolito does the Job!
I'm an American/Cuban gal, born in New York, who visits Cuba when I can to visit family. The people in Cuba are like no other....full of life, energy and passion, just like their music. When I come back to my home in California, listening to Manolito y Su Trabuco makes me feel like I'm back in ...

NG la Banda
Qbadisc Records, 1992
The birth of Timba!
+ Start here. This is the very definition of Timba by the band who started the movement.
+ A Necessary Album
NG La Banda is widely considered the original Timba band. It was NG and their founder/leader, Jose Luis Cortes "El Tosco," that really originated the Timba style of Cuban salsa (with influences from Irakere and Los Van Van, whom Tosco had played with prior to forming NG). This CD is actually a ...

Que Bueno
+ Smoking Timba from Cuba
+ Try This One Out
Haila is definitely on her way to become the next Queen of Salsa. I saw her yesterday in NY with Isaac Delgado and she was simply amazing. Her voice, beauty, stage presence and energy are all top notch. I promptly bought her CD which she signed and I played all the way back to Philly. Hopefully ...

Excelente Albun

Para todos los amantes de la salsa, esta es una excelente compilación de Cesar Pedroso, ex integrante de Los Van Van.
Es un disco que esta muy bueno para bailar. Recomiendo que escuchen la nueva versión de Disco Azucar (de Los Van Van) que está con una instrumentación y ritmo de lo mejor.

Charanga Habanera
Ciocan, 2001
Pure Cuban Timba!!
+ The best of the best
This is a perfect example of the dynamic, swinging, frenetic, hard-driving style of Cuban Timba. Charanga Habanera is one of the best of the Cuban Timba bands and they are probably the most popular band in Cuba, especially among the younger generations. Although all of their CD's rock, this is in ...

Once Again, David Calzado Has Discovered the Key to Success. But the Most Interesting Thing of it all is that Charanga Habanera's Music is Never Similar and the Result is Always the Same. The Versatile Cuban Group Has Assimilated New Proposals in Pop/Salsa Music. This Album Has Melodic Ballads Interpreted with Sensibility and Sentiment as Well as Smooth Or Aggresive Danceable Rhythms. Awards ...

Maraca
Ahi Nama Music, 2002
Maraca & Co. Continue their Winning Streak
+ MY favourite Maráca recording to date! A modern Salsa must-have!
+ Maraca is unstoppable!!
Another great CD from Maraca and his band. This is getting to be something of a habit! However it seems that the band is following a path more towards Salsa than the more Jazzy types of music in some of their previous releases. And that's no bad thing when it's this good... For those of you who ...
