A grooving danzón record, with everyone stretching out. The everyone includes the Envidia gang, with J.J. Oliveros on flute, Jesus Rubalcaba on piano, Boniatillo on timbales Jorge Machado on bass and Barbarito Lopez, Ciso Guanche and Jose Lusson Jr. on coros, among others. But it's Rubalcaba that throws gasoline on this particular fire, leaving behind a series of solos that make the music explode with energy. It's like taking a lesson in Cuban piano, and with all its borrowings from other music, a lesson in how cultures beg, borrow and steal to make artistic expression richer than it might have been on its own.
Highly recommended.
