3. "Lechón con Pimienta"



'Gerónimo Ibarra Rivera'

'Luis La Rosa Castellanos'

One of my favorite bands, that still maintain a 'gritty","soulful" sound without the commonly over produced, slick "tourist factor elements".
Unfortunately they use an electric bass on this, perhaps the original acoustic bass player, 'Luis La Rosa Castellanos' may have departed life by 2002, which is when this CD seems to have been recorded.
And the coolest bongocero en Santiago De Cuba... 'Gerónimo Ibarra Rivera' I like his solos and the socks he wears. I think he also may have also departed life, as he is not on the recently released 2009 CD.
I've never heard or seen this particular recording by them until 'Matthew' from the " unstruckmusic blogspot" turned me on to it.
Please visit and support his music blog and download it directly from there.

1998 CD Excellent!

2000 CD Excellent!

2001 CD Excellent!

2009 CD
(Good, but not great)
(Electric bass replaces acoustic bass and 'Geronimo Ibarra Rivera' & 'Luis La Rosa Castellanos' may have departed life )
