Son: Soul of a Nation

Product Description
Sierra Maestra, Cuba’s leading son group, who are largely responsible for the style’s revival, present their personal account of the genre’s development in Son: Soul Of A Nation. The bedrock of Cuban music, son has shaped much of twentieth-century Latin music, and this album, recorded in Havana, pays tribute to the great writers of the past, selecting lesser-known classics alongside legendary tunes. Charting son’s development from the early days before horns were introduced, through the additions of trumpets, piano and big bands, to the original modern son sound, this album is a glorious tribute confirming the dictum that ‘Son is the soul of our nation’.

The greatest NEW cd to feature traditional Cuban Son Montuno.......2005-10-21

Sierra Maestra is an exellent group, and this is by far thier greatest and jazziest cd, that is completely traditional Son Montuno's. Great album for dancing or listening, the jazz oriented exotic and spicy guitar solos are what really make thsi album cook, not to mention the soul stirring vocals, and horns. This album swings, and is the essence of Afro-Cuban jazz, and roots music of Cuba! An exellent cd!
