With a debut as smashing as their 1997 A Toda Cuba Le Gusta, the Afro Cuban All Stars would have to hit on all cylinders to not fall short on their sophomore effort. Alas, they don't hit the high marks that seemed so effortless on their debut, heading away from the earthy, complex body of emotions their horns carried and towards a style that reaches unabashedly for pop audiences. Of course, the pop audiences they address are old world enough to like their flute solos to be bombarded by big brass riffs and set off by crooning, sweet vocals. This brings up a key point: even a disappointing album by the likes of the Afro Cuban All Stars is better than most of what makes the airwaves, from Havana to Miami to Montreal. Aside from the more obviously polished elements, there are lots of traces of the band's debut, with the timeworn playing--especially on piano and percussion--sounding both overly commercial and terrifically organic. On many of these tunes, the cleanness of the sound draws the ear away from the music and towards the sonic varnish, the crystal clarity that in many cases would be cause for celebration. Here, it urges the side-by-side inspection of A Toda Cuba Le Gusta and Distinto, Diferente, the latter title signaling that the band has sought another terrain, maybe that commanded by Los Van Van prior to the rise of the Buena Vista Social Club and its roster of stars. --Andrew Bartlett

Muy bueno.......2007-06-12

Se mantiene el timbre del Son Cubano intacto pero en algunas de sus canciones la letra haciendo alegorias a la dichosa revolucion extravia un poco la excelente calidad del Disco.

Excellent and different .......2004-08-22

This is simply wonderful music. I consider the first Afro-Cuban All Star album, A Todo Cuba Le Gusta, to be one of my all time favorites. After the close of the first track on A Todo Cuba Le Gusta, I was asking myself, Where have you been all my life? I had no clue that I liked Cuban music but this is just amazing and it made me want more!

I don't feel quite that way about this album. It is a touch less fiery and a wee bit closer to mainstream tastes but believe me, there is nothing mainstream about it. The musicianship is fabulous despite the stylistic change. It is well worth buying and a great introduction to Cuban music.

If you are new to Cuban music and your tastes lean toward the metallic side of rock, you might enjoy the first album more. If you enjoy things a bit calmer than a frenzy but want still plenty of excitement, try this one!

Muy caliente!.......2002-11-10

Pure magic, my dear ladies and gentlemen, pure magic. I smell cigar smoke whenever I go past the CD tower.

A ton of fun.......2001-09-15

Lively, brassy, fun. An excellent follow-up to their first album. Get both.

Hot, Spicy, Fun!.......2001-07-29

This music is absolutely addicting! Great to listen to while whipping up dinner or whatever else. However, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS WHILE DRIVING! You won't be able to sit still and you and your car will be dancing all over the road. I can't wait to hear more from this very talented, sexy, and lively bunch!

Very Well Done!.......2003-08-01

Habana, Cuba in the 21st century: Crumbling architectural relics, stray dogs and proud people. With a powerful vibrant culture. Not much different from the South Bronx in the '70's and '80's. And it is from the 'Boogie Down Bronx' that Hip-Hop was born and that spoken word, hip hop, resonated and traveled with a ferocious energy throughout the world at last reaching embargoed Cuba.

So what is Cuban Hip-Hop all about? Today's emcees are asking many questions that this unfulfilled generation wants answered. They express rage at the US embargo. Expect to hear "Si Por Cuba" a re-affirmation for the country that has never backed down. Cuban rappers know their history and culture and one track talks of the national love for Mandela, while another praises the famous Cuban Dancer from the 1950's, Mercedita Valdez, a third discusses the deadly consequences of a life of crime for an exiled 'Marielito' in Miami in 1989.

There is no stereotyped swagger among these tracks. The lyrics are sensitive and flavored with a deep understanding of humanity. The music is a subtle curry of old School hip-hop, and new and old Cuban sounds.

The music was produced entirely by Pablo Herrera* the only Hip-Hop producer working in Cuba today. This compilation was the idea of the project coordinator Ariel Fernandez Diaz.

All of the live contra-bass lines were recorded by one of the worlds' greatest Cuban-Jazz bassists, Jorge Reyes of 'Irakere' fame.

This is the first record of it's kind. Listen to the music and feel the power of "The Cuban Hip-Hop All Stars" Volume 1.

Volume 2. should be released sometime this year.

Good Start!.......2003-07-30

This is the first Cuban Hip Hop CD ever produced in Cuba, it's a demo album and part II should be released sometime this year, Cuba now has over 200 hip hop groups and there are some very talented ones like: 100% original (track:Amargas Meditaciones) and "Los Cubanitos" who are working on their debut album. This album sounds much like the 80's hip hop from the bronx. Be sure to check out the leading groups on Cuban Hip Hop: Orishas, Don Dinero & Nilo MC.

A Whole New World Has Unfolded.......2002-11-14

This CD is truly amazing! It is hip-hop the way it should be! Not gangs, guns, and girls, but rather grass roots political movements. These artists are truly that, artists. They believe in what they sing. Better yet, they write what they sing. This is no pre-fab slurry. Support these struggling artists and buy the CD!

I played this CD at work and everyone went nuts. We've been listening to it every day since, trying to decipher the lyrics with our collectively poor knowledge of spanish. It's a brilliantly textured collection, rich with authentic Cuban sound. It sounds better and better each time I hear it. We love it!

The musical relationship between Havana and New Orleans dates back centuries. Both cities share an Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage, and both take great pride in keeping that heritage alive. So it really shouldn't be too surprising that this mating--co-produced by Joe Boyd with Cubanismo's Jesús Alemañy and the Yockamo All-Stars' Mark Bingham--comes off so naturally. The stunning "Shallow Water Suite," featuring Crescent City R&B singer John Boutte, solidifies the African-based spiritual connection between New Orleans mardi-gras chants and Cuban rumba, while Ernie K-Doe's "Mother-In-Law" receives a clever bilingual workout. But the heart of the album is in the original instrumental hybrids such as "Cuborleans," "Gumbo Son," and Alemañy's "Boogaloo," on which trumpeter Alemañy earns an honorary place in the great New Orleans tradition that extends from Buddy Bolden and Louis Armstrong to Wynton Marsalis and Nicholas Payton. --Rick Mitchell

TRUE CRIOLLA.......2006-06-13

This CD was like eating really good criolla food. The perfect blend of spices and rhythms gives this Cubanismo CD all the right stuff. We loved every song on this CD. The tunes are memorable and I find myself humming them throughout the day. We dance to them and truly immerse ourselves in the feeling of being in Havanna at one moment and New Orleans the next. This is truly a recommend to anyone who likes Cuban and/or Cajun music.

The Spirit of Mardi Gras Year Round! Mambo!!.......2004-12-24

I heard the track "Mardi Gras Mambo" while poolside at a hotel, and the song stuck in my head for months. I searched far and wide to discover THIS CD contains that song - and it is worth the money. The variety, and rhythm of the tracks on this CD keep you thinking of the warm sand, and tropical breezes of the island's, mon... plus, of the spirit of 'carnival' during Mardi Gras. Want music with a Latin beat? This is a great CD.

A perfect Afro-Caribbean Gumbo.......2004-04-14

You only need to have a couple of brain cells to rub together to understand this CD. It perfectly captures the musical relationship between Havana and New Orleans and the Afro-Caribbean cultural heritage. Listening to this gumbo of great tunes is effortless in that it is smooth, elevating and relaxing at the same time – but the main word to describe this collection is fun. Alemañy didn’t have to go out of his way to show off his musical genius, as do so many other musicians that perform in this genre. He allows the music to speak for itself, and allows the other musicians to blend together naturally so that the blend of afro-cuban-creole and new Orleans jazz makes a musical gumbo not to be missed. On a scale of 1-5 stars, this CD is a 6!

Fusion Ain't Always Good.......2003-09-28

I just try to be straight with my reviews...i really didn't like this CD. Fusion doesn't always work, and in this case, i think the attempt to mix cuban music and cajun music failed. In fact, even when I've seen them live Cubanismo is far better when they stick to cuban music...their rap, cajun, calypso and other experiments just don't work for me at least. So, if you like the otehr Cubanismo CD's, don't get this one, ya probably won't like it.

Rumba boogie.......2003-04-13

Remember the days when you could just hop on board the ferry
from New Orleans to Havana? Yeah, ok, nobody does, but back at
the beginning of the 20th century, the daily ferry between the two
cities helped to foster musical exchanges, and Cubanismo's latest
record represents not only an attempt to recover some of the lost
historical closeness of the two cities, but also to create a new, syncretic
sound, blending Latin jazz and its counterpart from Louisiana. The
New Orleans classics with a Cuban twist (tracks 2&5) are fun, but I tend to
prefer the Cuban rumbas which are boogied up (tracks 3&11).

The absolute best congero.......2001-05-23

I had the pleasure of seeing Miguel Anga in concert in Chicago last year. He is a phenomenal conguero. I had never before seen someone play four drums. Listen to the first cut, "Presentacion" and you will not believe that one person could play so well.

Classic Cuban rythms with modern jazz touches.......2001-02-09

Two master percussionists from different generations coming together for a magnificent jam session! The legendary Tata Guines, regarded by many as the most influential tumbador of all times, and the brilliant Miguel "Anga" Diaz, regarded by many as Cuba's finest younger generation tumbador and the heir to Tata's throne, come together and create percussive fireworks! Great arrangements by another brilliant young lion of Cuban jazz, Orlando "Maraca" Valle, and a phenomenol supporting cast of musicians and vocalists from both the older and younger generations of Cuban music. Just listen to the power and technique of the opening conga solo intros by both Tata and then Anga, or Anga's beautiful bata work on the jazzy composition "Anga." Great music for listening or dancing!

Duets.......2000-12-05

I had the chance to "live " with TATA during a percussion week, and it was a great moment in my musician life ! In this record, Anga meets Tata, it's the same school and it's a pleasure for our ears...
