Afro Cuban All Stars
The Afro Cuban All Stars was a group that flourished under
the tourist trade between the U.S.
and Cuban before the Cuban Revolution. They reemerged in the 90’s when they
were recorded. I listened to their album, A
Toda Cuba Le Gusta, which translates to “Everyone in Cuba Likes it”. The entire album made me
want to dance, even the slower songs like, “Habana del Este”. I enjoyed the
flute in the song and you can definitely hear the clave keeping the beat in it.
I really like how in “Maria Caracoles” it opens with the bong drums and the
rest of the percussion comes in followed by the horns and so forth. It is a
party song to me. I have found that through listening to this album, I really
enjoy this group!
