The man and his band have done it again, and they just keep doing it! This is album 20-something and he still delivers the smooth, instantly loveable and memorable Son that he is renowned for. Will this man ever stop?It's like he only has to breathe to create a new theme as his sound is so effortless, and distinctive and this release marks 35 years of continued success for EL Caballero de Son from Camaguey. Along with the 'oldies' such as Cesar Pedroso and Juan Formell who have been around forever, he manages to keep the sound popular, universal and modern.
Two new hits 'Gozando En La Habana' and 'Amor de Mentira' kicks off the albums and are currently being worshiped on their home turf, complete with super-modern videos- how does he do it?
Gozando En La Habana (on telly)
As testament to his longivity and legendary status, 2 pupurris are included on the album- one dedicated to the 90s and the second, later on to the 80s (for those who remember!)They slip from one song into the next effortlessly and remind of the sheer number of hits they have had.
As another blast from the past (and maybe something for the other oldies!), there is a new, delicious version of the classic 'Camina y Prende El Fogon', made famous by Conjunto Chappottin.
See below for the original :-)
The rest of the album delivers more- It's reliable Adalberto, maintaining the strength of lonely Son in a world of timba and reggaeton...
BUY IT!!
