• Mongo Santamaría - Greatest Hits
«A Mongo Santamaria concert is a mesmerizing spectacle for both eyes and ears, and even in his seventies, this seemingly ageless Cuban percussionist/bandleader could energize packed behemoth arenas such as the Hollywood Bowl. A master conguero, Santamaria at his best creates an incantatory spell rooted in Cuban religious rituals, quietly seating himself before his congas and soloing with total command over the rhythmic spaces between the beats while his band pumps out an endless vamp (a potent example on records is the hypnotic "Mazacote" available on Afro-Roots [Prestige]). He has been hugely influential as a leader, running durable bands that combine the traditional charanga with jazz-oriented brass, wind, and piano solos, featuring such future notables as Chick Corea and Hubert Laws. The success of Santamaria's cross-pollination of jazz, R&B, and Latin music on "Watermelon Man" and a string of Battle and Riverside albums led to a high-profile contract with Columbia that resulted in a wave of hot, danceable albums between 1965 and 1970. With a brighter, brassy sound propelled by trumpeter Marty Sheller's driving charts, often covering hits of the day, the Santamaria band perfectly reflected the mood of the go-go 60s, and Mongo continued to mix genres into the 70s. Santamaria then returned to his Afro-Cuban base, recording for Vaya in the early 70s, teaming with Gillespie and Toots Thielemans for a live gig at Montreux for Pablo in 1980, recording several albums for Concord Picante (1987 a 1990), a sole effort for Chesky in 1993 and a return to the Fantasy fold via its Milestone subsidiary in 1995. He died on February 1, 2003, at Baptist Hospital in Miami, following a stroke. »
• Tito Puente meets Machito - The Mambo Kings - Charly
«Tito Puente e Machito (com a sua orquestra Afro-Cubans) nesta edição (originalmente lançada em 1996. Este álbum representa uma compilação histórica que celebra o encontro de dois gigantes do mambo, Tito Puente e Machito, e a energia contagiante das suas gravações. A edição de 2007 pela Charly UK não trouxe material novo, mas prestou um grande serviço às gerações futuras, tornando novamente acessível um repertório essencial para quem explora a música latina e afro-cubana clássica.»
