In a just world, the average rating for this song would be well over 8 along with all those Beatles and Stones tunes. This is every bit as much of a masterpiece.

EXCELLENT! Almost exactly a year ago, I was dancing all night every night to music JUST LIKE THIS at the Havana Club in Cartagena, and whoah, the memories are as sweet as the mojitos that went down like water, and — ay, Margie, I'm sorry, the maid at my hotel tossed the paper with your contact info on it and then I had to go to Mompos, and ... and Cuban music is hard to top wherever one goes!
I love this vibe, and play more of this anytime, RP, please!

catnip wrote:So you wander along to the Casa de la Trova in any Cuban town, and you'll find pretty much the same scene all over, a bunch of cool dudes playing all varieties of musical instruments, belting out this tune to a packed room, some of the audience nursing mojitos or Cuba Libres, others dancing like they were made for it, bodies suddenly touching, swinging, swaying, arms locked and twirling in impossible shapes. Every time the song changes in an imperceptible way, every time different, every time good, more sax, less guitar, more percussion, all possible combinations. You come away feeling like you never want to hear the tune again, so many versions have you heard; Havana, Remedios, Santiago, Barracoa, Trinidad, Viñales, and then the rest.
And then this comes on RP, and it all comes flooding back, and you realise that you were wrong; it is an astonishing song, place and country.
Can I go back, please?
Yes - go back. And please take me with you!!!!!!  What a wonderful story for an armchair traveler like me. Thank you. |
