A Lo Cubano

Amazon.com
While North American rap drowns in its own clichés, international artists are invigorating the genre with their own musical traditions. The Orishas, a Cuban group based in France, use Afro-Cuban religion to summon the spirit of hip-hop. Named for gods of Santeria, they came together in 1998 when members Yotuel and Ruzzo hooked up with Roldan and Flaco-Pro (a veteran of Sergeant Garcia) through a cultural exchange program between French and Cuban rappers. Collaborating with French hip-hop producer Miko Niko, they bring the attitude of Havana streets to the rest of the world, appealing to the Buena Vista Social Club crowd as well as the hip-hop heads. On their debut, A lo Cubano, the song "537 C.U.B.A." (their remake of Compay Segundo's "Chan Chan") gives new meaning to the term "old school." And the sound of sacred Santeria beats and traditional Son weaving through sharp-edged lyrical attacks with groove-heavy bass and drum tracks on tunes like "Represent," "Atención," and "Atrevido" make for a cool joyride through the back streets of Havana. --Jesse "Chuy" Varela

Great music!.......2007-03-09

I love that CD. I only new a couple songs from that band but the whole CD is good.

The Good and The Bad.......2007-02-28

Yea baby, when the Cubans are out all others should go to school to catch up or just go home. This cats should embarrass all those Puerto Rican "artists" with their STUPID reggaeton trash, with their over repeated monotonous beats and over promoted junk, just hype(let's be fair and exclude Tego & Voltio). If Cuba were not under a communist tyranny that even controls the music that can be done, so it does not sound too "imperialist" (ask Arturo Sandoval) Cuba would rule in this genre the same way they did musically back in their capitalistic days. This Orisha guys (who got out of Cuba) are more than proof of the talent that is wasted just like everything else in Cuba right now.

It is mostly a fusion of Cuban flow and rap that reminds me of the mentality in some of the fusions of Dr. Dre with 70's American funk & r&b. However, as great as the music is, lyrically this guys are pretty ambiguous, non-understandable, meaningless, and dull. Lyrically they are pu$$ies, simple. There is a lot that should be said and they don't say, to be allowed back in Cuba to shoot their videos and use it as their back ground, the $$ are there for a reason. They are not representing or speaking for anyone, they got out and forgot the abusive slavish regime that bounds Cubans? Maybe it is the producers, I don't know. But I do know that in a genre as unrestricted as rap this is called being a PU$$Y.

Lo Mejor de lo Mejor!.......2006-03-31

When Orishas released this CD I was still living in Cuba. I used to listen to these songs all day long with my friends. Then I moved to US and what can I tell you? 537 Cuba is like an anthem for me because it really tells the reality about the feelings of Cuban people and perhaps every person that lefts his country likes us. On the other hand, these guys are amazing! The mixture of rap with traditional Cuban music is something original, out of this world. I don't like hip hop music at all, but Orishas are the exception. Buy this CD, it worth every penny, you won't be disappointed!

EXCELLENT CD.......2006-03-04

THIS IS MY 1ST REVIEW OF ANYTHING EVER AND I'M TELLING YOU THIS CD IS EXCELLENT AND IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. I LIKE THE WAY THEY FUSED TOGETHER THEIR CUBAN STYLE ALONG WITH HIP HOP BEATS AND I MUST SAY IT IS A MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN.
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE CDS YOU JUST PUT IN YOUR CD PLAYER AND LET IT RUN FROM BEGINING TO END. A MASTERPIECE AND A MUST HAVE FOR ANY MUSIC FAN.

Musical Prodigy.......2006-01-12

The Benny Moré of our generation. They demonstrate that Cuba is at the musical forefront producing the best that is hard to come close to.
