Juan de Marcos Gonzalez ea Afro-Cuban All Stars, interpretando o clássico "María Caracoles" de Pello El Afrokán. Composição original dos anos 60, este número é o mais representativo do ritmo 'mozambique'. Infelizmente, o mozambique não foi muito adiante fora de Cuba, eo único a dar-lhe projeção em NY foi Eddie Palmieri. Nos anos 70, "María Caracoles" recebeu uma leitura rock-salsa com Santana no LP "Festival". E em 1997, a Afro-Cuban All Stars lançou a sua versão, no seu primeiro CD "A Toda Cuba Le Gusta". Neste vídeo, gravado em Tokyo (Japão), os vocais são de Luis Frank Arias, enquanto na gravação do CD o vocalista é Ibrahim Ferrer.

www.earthcds.com This DVD is a live recording of a performance given by Obiní Batá at the Yoruba Cultural Center in Havana, Cuba in 2003. Obiní Batá was the first group of females in Cuba, and probably the whole world, to play the batá drums profesionally. The group was founded in 1993 by several women who sung and danced in Conjunto Folklórico Nacional dem Cuba, and this performance was given in the year of their tenth anniversary. The drums and vocals are properly balanced, recorded with high-fidelity, professional audio equipment. The selection of songs on this DVD demonstrates the richness of Afrocuban musical and dance traditions in contemporary Cuba. The show starts with a riveting Orishas suite and then delves into some innovative rumba interpretations of popular songs. This is Afrocuban music delivered with a feminine charm! Subtitles in English are included for the interview with Eva Trujillo, founding member of the group, and commentary by reknowned Cuban musicologist Enrique Zayas is included on the DVD. "a breathless, riveting performance. . .choreography is smooth and professional, and the blending of percussion and voice is seamless. . .a superhuman effort". - Katherine Hagedorn Now available: www.earthcds.com
