Buena Vista Social Club List Price: $18.98 Sale Price: $9.99 Used From: $1.99 Ry Cooder's name has helped bring attention to this session, but it's the veteran Cuban son musicians who make this album really special. Reminiscent of Ellington in its scope and sense of hushed romanticism, Buena Vista Social Club is that rare meld of quietude and intensity; while the players sound laid-back, they're putting forth very alive music, a reminder that aging doesn't mean taking to bed...



Golden Slumbers: A Father's Lullaby List Price: $18.98 Sale Price: $9.01 Used From: $2.81 This is a real sleeper of an album, literally. Smooth-jazz musicians--including Peter White, Dave Koz, Norman Brown, David Benoit, and others--play music here to put babies to sleep. Fans of New Age music, specifically what came out of the Pacific Northwest in the '80s, may find many of these 14 tracks reminiscent of that period...

Cuban Music in Old Havana

Old Havana is a place really picturesque and beautiful. Its cobblestoned, narrow streets and corners full of the purest contrasts between sun and shade are now a musical center -as it can be seen today- a real Cuban party.

Noisy as it is, colonial Havana is better known for its more-than-80-year-old musicians than for its museums -as many foreign visitors confess.

Perhaps, the world reign of Francisco Repilado (Compay Segundo), an already dead troubadour and sonero propitiated that a considerable part of all the people who pass by this part of the Cuban capital look for that musician’s lineage -and find it.

Such richness can be found in bars, restaurants and hotels of this Cuban area founded in 1519 -a wonderful landscape full of chromatism and the affable environment that its dwellers grant to this place.

There, tourism is operated by the Cuban company Habaguanex, an enterprise that was named after the last indigenous chief who lived in that area and since 1994 has been in charge of maximizing the historic and cultural recreation in the approximately 4.5 square kilometers of this old area of the city.

Through narrow streets, shops and truly beautiful corners there can be seen lots of people walking and mingling with foreigners who are eager to understand the nature of Cubans, with a very strong base on its music and dance.

Out of the 100 facilities for recreation or stores, 40 enjoy live animation, be it traditional, instrumental, Spanish or Latin-American music.

There exists a prevalence of young artists, but the most symbolic and appealing are the old ones who –with the strength of a thousand lions - continue to offer the best of the popular art learned a long time ago.

Some 72 musical groups invite us to move our feet, or simply to listen to them while we have a snack or a supper in company of friends or relatives.

The origin of such animation can be traced back to December, 31st, 1994, when a supper was organized at the Cathedral Square -the most emblematic of the five squares that exist around that old area- and from that moment on, music, gastronomy and architecture combine in order to offer the visitor a new opportunity.

The milieu is contagious, but the most recommendable restaurants are El Patio, with its big umbrellas in the same Cathedral Square -all very noisy- La Mina, Don Giovanni, the Lobby Bar of the Ambos Mundos Hotel, the Café Paris or La Lluvia de Oro –all of them very close to each other.

The Plaza Vieja (Old Square), for instance, has one corner that is quite remarkable for its sounds and music. It is the Café Taberna Benny Moré, built as homage to the worldwide famous musician of the same name who is already dead and who was baptized with the name El Bárbaro del Ritmo.

Cuba is a great amalgam, but in the musical field it cultivates more than 25 diverse rhythms, among which we can clearly find the Son, the Conga, the Rumba, the Mambo and the Cha Cha Chá, now very peculiarly diffused all over the world, especially through the Salsa.

It is all about a real Cuban party in all senses, capable of persuading the most gentle of all parishioners, may he come from whatever corner of the world, simply magical.
