Nostalgic.......2007-04-03
Terrific CD - it took me back to my childhood and the music my parents loved; the song "Ausencia", sung by Willie and his wife, herself the daughter of the singing duo Olga Y Tony, caught me by surprise by making me cry; it was one of my mother's favorites. It's a priceless reminder of an era now gone but not forgotten. Willy never forgets his Cuban roots, and as his contemporary in age, I can relate to his memories, and his music.
overall very good, but missing an important song..........2005-11-13
I enjoy listening to this cd, but i am surprised that willy
Chirino left out the song LAMENTO CUBANO,a song from the MachAdo
period of the 1930's and which I find so perfect to describe
the Cuba of today.
To my pleasant suprise this song was included in the filmç
DIRTY DANCING HAVANA NIGHTS, where it was sung by DONATO,
Yet, I can find no explanation why it was left out of the
soundtrack of the film. Next time you warch the movie, you will
hear this song in the street scene when the american girl meets
the Cuban guy.
Willy, next time you record a CD, please include the song LAMENTO CUBANO, if possible in a duo with DONATO. It's a pity
we can not get a copy of this song as it was performed in the film.
Thank you, willy CHirinos, for this Cd.
great place to start with Cuban music.......2003-12-13
This is clearly Willy Chirino's best. His next best does not even come close. He is a little controversial and is completely banned in Cuba as a Florida right-winger. But I talked to Cubans in Cuba and those particular folk, who are knowledgeable, love this CD and know about the songs on it, although they don't really own CDs much and CD playing boomboxes are a luxury. As for me, I'm not a Cuban--as if that matters--but in things Cuban, sometimes such a disclaimer is demanded. This CD was an early acquisition that put me on the right track. This is not the best Cuban music there is, but its very, very good and accessible for non-Cubans and very rewarding, and well done. The overall production is magnificent. Its the best Cuban music that I know of made outside of Cuba in a generation. And I know a little bit about this subject.
Superb Chirino - a CLASSIC.......2002-06-10
As a Cuban born American, listening to this album has become a deeply enriching, fulfilling experience, offering me the unique opportunity to dig into my roots and share a common bond with my parents' generation, during which time most of these songs became popular. Willy Chirino embellishes each track with utter humanity and syncopating rythmns that will have you dancing in the den! Included are such Cuban classics as "el Manisero" (the "Peanut Vendor") and "Son de la Loma" ("They Come from the Hills") two lovely paeans to the guajiro/farmer lifestyle that percolates through most of our Cuban sounds. Better than Gloria, more accessible than Celia, and richer in scope and sound than Albita, Secada and many others, Willy Chirino puts his trademark energy and vocal prowess to superb use here. A startling, refreshing album that serves as an extension of the Cuban culture.
The Ultimate Latin Starter CD . . . and more........2001-04-13
This eclectic collection of Cuban songs would be my recommendation for anyone who's new to the genre. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to Latinophiles either.
I've played this CD so many times that if it were a record, I'd be hearing both sides at once. There's a fine variety of ballads, dance music and traditional tunes that hit the mark the first time you hear them, but continue to satisfy after repeated hearings.
"Son de La Loma" is an almost transcendental experience. I never cared much for "El Manisero" until I heard Chirino's superb rendition. The title song starts the CD off with a bang, and the last two cuts end it on a terrific upbeat note.
The guest singers, arrangements and sound quality are all excellent.

Timba is the supercharged successor to salsa, and this Miami-based, Grammy-nominated group is one of hottest exponents of this still-evolving genre. Led by keyboardist/arranger Jorge Gomez, a graduate of Cuba's famed Escuela Nacional de Arte, and vocalist Joaquin (El Kid) Diaz , this unit lights it up with a fiery, Earth, Wind and Fire-style horn section, rap-friendly vocals, and killer Afro-Cuban percussion. Aside from a spirited update of the Aldalberto Alvarez classic cha cha cha, "A Bayamo en Coche," the selections are original compositions with a dancing agenda, including the title track, the infectious descarga "Manos Pa'rriba," and the Weather Report-like sound of "Ven a Bailar." All told, this disc is an excellent follow-up to their 2005 effort, Arroz Con Mango. With larger recording budgets and even more expansive musical vistas, who knows how far this band will go. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
Customer Reviews:
Good CD but not great.......2007-02-09
I really liked the first cd but this one seems to somewhat repeat the first. I'm really a timba fan and expected this new cd to experiment with different sounds and it just did not. I hope the next cd moves towards good timba music like Klimax, or Charanga.
Buena Timba Fuerte.......2007-01-06
Este disco se destaca por ritmos agresivos, montunos medio locos, y una musicalidad de alta clase. Todos los musicos tocan bien. Este es definitivamente para fiestas, baile, y los que les guste la musica latina agresiva.

Cuba's timba musicians create a hard-edged dance music filled with energy, drawing upon jazz, funk, European classical, reggae, and myriad traditional Cuban rhythms. The music has a more global flair to it than some of the older styles, but timba is still wholly Cuban. Starting out as a Miami-based group of Cuban expatriate musician who played in other bands (Albita, Arturo Sandoval, NG La Banda and others), Tiempo Libre got serious when it was offered a slot opening for the legendary Celia Cruz and hasn't looked back since. The septet gets a surprisingly big sound driven by the traditional twin engines of sizzling brass and unrelenting rhythms. Most of the tunes on this too-short 40-minute debut are originals that offer the musicians' own take on their new home fused with the music they love. Indeed, while so many other Cuban exports are looking to the past, here's a band that's proudly in the here and now. --Tad Hendrickson

Tiempo Libre.......2007-01-11
This is THE HOTTEST Cuban group to come to us in 40 years. Their energy and musicianship excells anything else out there today. This music will move you.
Great album, but kind of short.......2006-02-27
Como todos los que han escrito estoy de acuerdo que es un buen album. Yo diria que el ritmo que tocan es perfecto para un grupo de Timba fuera de Cuba, ya que no es tan fuerte como Bamboleo o Los Van Van. La bateria aqui esta mas controlada y las canciones no son tan largas como otros grupos. Tambien los metales son mas sutiles que muchos grupos de Cuba. Pero eso no hace que el grupo sea de menor calidad, sino que les da un estilo un poco diferente que esta muy bien pulido.
Algo interesante tambien es que tienen a un percusionista tocando bateria, bata, timbal, bongos, y cencerro. En ciertas canciones algunos de estos instrumentos se estan tocando al mismo tiempo lo cual da a preguntar que hara el grupo cuando tocan en vivo para arreglar el deficit.
Wow!!.......2006-02-18
It cannot get hotter than this! I write about Irish music for a living. What an alternative!! These guys are stunning. I don't know a lot about this music. But I do what gets me dancing in my office! This is just perfect!! Wow!
Timba: La vida misma!!!.......2005-12-12
Finally a US Timba band capable to groove like those in Havana. I grew up dancing Timba in Cuba and this band makes me feel like if I was there all over again. Once you get Timba in your system every other rhythm takes a second place.
A LATIN GRAMMY nomination for this band speaks for itself.
Perfect Follow up to my previous favorite - Buena Vista Soc. Clb.......2005-07-19
don't know that much about Cuban music - just know I've loved Buena Vista Social club since that album came out. I never believed anything could top that. But now that I've listened to ths album by these young Miami-based Cubans, I've fallen in love with Cuban music all over again. A perfect album to perk you up on even the bluest of days. These guys have a pipleline into some pure sense of musical joy that most musicians just dream of.

This brilliantly conceived "audiobook," containing a 65-page book and a 14-track CD, provides a sonic snapshot of modern Cuban music. Highlights come from vocalists Ibrahim Ferrer and the velvet-toned Omara Portuondo with their soul-stirring renditions of "Ay Candela" and "Quizas, Quizas Quizas"; Compay Segundo with his signature song, "Chan Chan"; and the country crooner Eliades Ochoa and his El Cuarteto Patria with their hit "El Quarto de Tula." Pianist Ruben Gonzalez's Errol Garner-like block chords steal the show on the driving jam "Mandiga." Finally, there's "Guajira Guantanamera," performed with style and sophistication by Vieja Trova Santiaguera. One hundred beautiful color photos by Italian photographer Stefano Biliotti provide the perfect visual complement to this well-produced document. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
