Tibiri Tabara

Amazon.com
One of Cuba's hippest musical exports, Sierra Maestra excels in the realm between rootsy son music and the more urbane brassiness of salsa. Tibiri Tabara presents the band's forest of percussion behind bright, catchy horn lines that leap brashly from the complex rhythms. In addition, the group's vocals converse similarly, taking the antiphonal lead and chorus structure to new places through touches of humor and a pure, obvious sense of musical thrill. For the dancers, the plucked bass and harmonic guitar envelope the interlocked percussion instruments as they persist in laying down strong, sashaying claves for the horns and voices to riff off of. This is indeed music for dancers, or at least for very physical listeners who don't mind relentless toe-tapping. There are rhythmic joys aplenty in Tibiri Tabara, including the muted counterpoint created from the bongos and guira, and the great punctuations laid down by the brass blasts. This is the past, present and future of Cuba's signature sound. --Andrew Bartlett

Jazz Times
With this release, the nine-piece Cuban group Sierra Maestra celebrates 21 years of playing traditional Cuban son. [Tuentor] Garcia plays high, bright, and loud, and is especially good on the classic Arsenio Rodriguez composition, "Yo Soy Tibururon."

Good but not great.......2001-12-28

Surely worth owning, but disappointing compared to their performance of "El Reloj de Pastora" released elsewhere, which, if it doesn't actually melt your CDplayer will at least raise the temperature around it. Nothing in this smooth and lively collection has that glasses-fogging intensity.

Great music and a very good CD insert........2001-10-14

It is a joyful experience anytime I purchase an album like Tibiri Tabara and receive written lyrics in both English and Spanish.
All of the songs on the CD are good but I do enjoy Tibiri-Tabara more than the rest. The members of Sierra Maestra are in perfect synchronization with one another and this is what impresses me the most. They are able to switch tempo at an extremely fast pace and not miss a beat.

I love this album.......2000-04-14

This is one of those albums that endures. I've had it for a couple of years now, and it's still one of my favorites:)

A wonderful, energetic blend of Cuban Music........1999-08-13

Had this CD played at my usual Cuban Restaurant and by the 3rd track, the waitress, the cook and the owner started dancing. Passed the CD around and all went to buy it. If had to choose a CD for a party, this will be it. To fully appreciate it, a little "cuban" spanish is advised plus of course, your dancing shoes.

IT IS ABSOLUTY FANTASTIC. I LOVED IT........1999-08-02

I LOVE THE MUSIC, THE SONGS, IT HAS ALL I WANT... BEAUTIFUL SONGS, BEAUTIFUL WORDS...
