Hope you are having a nice time right this minute... this music is marvelous... |
| wendyleefrancis (Somewhere in Canada) | Posted: Feb 08, 2013 - 13:17 Just had to stop working for a few minutes and absorb this sensuous song! |

| magnum-uk (Warwickshire, UK) | Posted: Jan 29, 2013 - 01:59 This is one of the many songs I hear on RP that I have never heard before that inspire me to go and buy the album. Excellent! |

The sheer joy of watching an old couple do their thing in the shadows outside a club is oddly captivating.. Did you miss the "salsa" part? Salsa is what their thing was. Salsa. Oh, salsa! You should have said ;) I have this album though. . . it is great and makes me want to visit Cuba even more. |
| d-don (Oregon) | Posted: Jan 16, 2013 - 10:49 Dig this! |
| jt1 | Posted: Jan 08, 2013 - 05:12 Nice. Works much better than I would have expected when following on from Queens Of The Stone Age. |

| shellbella (so california) | Posted: Sep 25, 2012 - 12:24 This is nice.... |
| joelbb | Posted: Sep 12, 2012 - 19:00 Definitely, kudos are due to B&R for pulling in much excellent world music. |
| Toke (Bournemouth UK) | Posted: Sep 04, 2012 - 12:32 The ''Maestro'' has struck again what a very apt follow on from ''Al Valven de Mi Carre'' thanks Bill/Rebecca who-ever is responsible. °º©©º° |
| 4merdj (donde el viento se devuelve) | Posted: Jul 24, 2012 - 14:21 The core of this tune is based on "Guajiro Music" from Cuba, akin to Country-Western music in the US. Evokes pastoral images of the country side. (Combined with African rhythms and lyrics). |
| (former member) (hotel in Las Vegas) | Posted: Jul 11, 2012 - 21:11 I've got this album, and it is sensational... love this music... |

All I can say is great great great.... And on top of it, there is a cool video associated with the video.. kinda like the "make of"... Highly recommend. Yes. indeed. It’s a great song and Radio Paradise crosses the borders. |
| The_Enemy (...is within) | Posted: Apr 27, 2012 - 11:00 "Al vaiven de mi carreta" = "The rocking of my cart" According to Google Translate.... When will I, when will come to the hut? The swaying of my cart Born this lament Compay, hear my quatrain We have no solution, do you see? When will I, when will come to the hut? Work for English What fate treacherous! Fighting for money That is not my hand, do you see? When will I, when will come to the hut? The life of the road You go for reeds Crossing the marsh Without finding their path When will I, when will come to the hut? |

| NewFee (Toronto - Beaches) | Posted: Jan 16, 2012 - 09:58 Fantastic run of acoustic music here on RP this morning, and just as I settled in front of my Arcam/Tannoy/DAC system and the 192 Ogg stream, nicely cranked... Life good! |

| Andy_B (aboard MV "Horizon," east coast Fla) | Posted: Jul 21, 2011 - 11:38 Eliades Ochoa is unmistakeable in any language. The Cuban maestro and Afrocubism get an 8 from me. |

This is a view not entirely uninfluenced by my having seen Salsa Celtica live a few times, and having experienced their gioia della vita first hand. Afrocubism no doubt appeals to jazzophiles, but it doesn't have the sheer brio of Cuban salsa. Some fusions work and generate something greater than the sum of their parts, others don't, and this is in the latter category, as are the other Afrocubism numbers played on RP. IMHO, as ever. Usually I find myself agreeing with Fred, but this time there is a schism. Having spent a month travelling around Cuba listening to the local music at every stop (the govt. makes a space available for musicians in every town), there is room for different slants on popular and not so popular within the framework. Live music will always work better than that which is confined and recorded, provided you are lucky enough to be there when the magic happens..... Salsa is exciting, but subject to professionalism. The sheer joy of watching an old couple do their thing in the shadows outside a club is oddly captivating.. |
