ACAS

Top Pick of 2007 - Group or Compilation

AFRO-CUBAN ALL STARS

Constantly evolving, The Afro-Cuban All Stars under the watchful eye and arrangements of Juan de Marco Gonzalez are just that, ALL STARS! This recording moves a little more into the Jazz genre which gives “the stars” an opportunity to spotlight the  enormous amount of talent this generation has. 

Step Forward - The Next Generation

Liuba

Top Pick of 2007 - Solo Artist

LIUBA MARIA HEVIA

Liuba recently performed at Lula Lounge in Toronto as part of the “Small World Festival”. Unfortunately we were not part of that audience, but have been able to sample some of the songs from this album. Known also for her poetry filled lyrics in children’s music, Liuba adds her magical vocals to this wonderful example of Cuban Nueva Trova genre.  

ILUMINAME - “A real gem”. Hard to find though. Try Amazon.ca

We saw Alexis for the first time at the Harbourfront Center in Toronto, July 21, 2006. Immediately recognizing his superior talent was compelled to purchase the CD “Humo De Tabaco” (which Alexis graciously signed). This disc has a permanent place in our CD player, we can’t stop listening to it! Gracias Alexis, Rico!

ALEX CUBA BAND. “Humo De Tabaco”. Masterfully recorded at Havana’s famed EGREM studios, this CD is a smokey dream for the aficionado. RG
