Quinteto Rebelde 2001, 1999 - Cuba

"Quinteto Rebelde"

CD on Bis 2001

This 2001CD is much better than the 1999 CD.

7. Cuando La Revolucion De Julio

10. Soy Fidelista

*********"40 Años De Revolución"
1999 Egrem CD
While a few of the same song titles are on both CD's.. they are
different versions, this 1999 CD is not as good as the 2001 CD.

"De Molienda Con La Gloria Matancera", with Nelo Sosa & Cheo Junco - Cuba

"De Molienda Con.. La Gloria Matancera"

'La Gloria Matancera' with 'Nelo Sosa' & 'Cheo Junco' on vocals, in my opinion, two of the many great Cuban soneros who never seem to get the attention they absolutely deserve.
These recordings were reissued six years ago on CD and are amazing in the high degree of "sabor" both by 'Nelo Sosa' & 'Cheo Junco' as well as the swinging Conjunto 'Gloria Matancera'.
With several very delicious 'Paila' solos. Excellent trumpet solos.

Omara Portuondo
with Adalberto Alvarez y Su Son - 1983

1. Sí Yo Como Candela

Javier Vasquez con Welfo & "Chocolate" Armenteros - N.Y.C.

"Juega Javier.... Con Welfo"
Vinyl LP/LD

Cuban pianist 'Javier Vasquez' with a swinging mid 1960's trumpet & trombone conjunto. Cuban sonero/vocalist
'Welfo Gutieréz' and 'Alfredo "Chocolate" Armenteros' in the trumpet section.
"Chocolate" mid 60's taking killer solos!
Unfortunately no other musicians are given credit, you can imagine who the trombones most likely were.
Great Cuban Son Montunos, Danzon, boleros, Cha Cha Chá, with Javier's N.Y.C. "edge" to it.

singers Felo martinez, Orestes Macias y Guido Soto.
   Rolando 'Rolito' Soto

With legendary bongocero Roloando 'Rolito' Soto (in the band at this time) who had a very "distinctive" sounding Martillo, in that he tuned his Macho (small) bongo head very high giving his "index finger" when playing "beat 1" and "beat 3" sounding like someone snapping their fingers.
He also used a larger sized 9½ Hembra (large head).
