5 out of 5 stars Maraca is unstoppable!!.......2003-08-02

With the backing of "Otra Vision" largely youthful personnel, Maraca's refined but powerful flute recites the epic poetry of Cuban music throughout an entirely original repertoire. The title of Maraca's 3rd Ahi Nama release serves to clarify the new mission undertaken by the invetive liberator of the Cuban flute. The chosen title, Tremenda Rumba, implies inclusion of all that is needed for the integrity, perfection and fulfillment of the "Cuban Jam" concept pioneered by Bebo Valdes in 1952. The most versatile and innovative Latin American flutist of our times offers an attractive musical option by preserving his band's nurturing link with the dancers while allowing his instrumental companions to creatively improvise in a style which is wholly their own. Highly Recommended!

5 out of 5 stars Maraca & Co. Continue their Winning Streak.......2002-07-15

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 are new to this band or even to Cuban or Latin Jazz here's some observations: Maraca is the leader of a young and dynamic band under the same name. In many ways this is Cuba's finest Latin Jazz outfit and certainly the one which points the way to the future. Maraca plays flute and leads the band as well as writing some of the material. The genre of music is Cuban Jazz but increasingly the band is turning out music which tends towards Salsa. While doing this, however, they have not lost their ability to find new ways of developing themes and instrumentation; Jazz disciplines including the sheer quality of the playing are very much in evidence here also.

For those interested in high-quality Salsa that's loaded with feeling there are at least four killer songs here. The rest of the CD is made up of other latin forms, again brilliantly executed with the very highest standards of musicianship.

I have been following Maraca from his early days - see also my reviews of "Havana Calling", "Sonando" and "Descarga Total" - and am hugely impressed by the quality of the music he has put forward. In a way it's not really suprising as Maraca worked for many years with Chucho Valdes and his band "Irakere" held in the highest regard by Jazz and Latin Jazz fans alike. Despite owning more Latin Jazz and Salsa CD than I can possibly listen to on a regular basis I return again and again to Maraca's recording as the sheer quality and excitement of his productions is at the highest level.

For any lovers of Salsa, Latin/Cuban Jazz or just music which goes beyond the mainstream this is a release you really should have.

Highly recommended.
