Conjunto Caney - Cuba

Two CD's by Conjunto Caney.

Caney plays in the classic (tipico) "Conjunto" format, that of
Sonora Matancera, with the harmonic use of four trumpets,
timbalitos (not pailas) one tumbadora and tight crisp coros.
It's this "tipical conjunto" sound that was responsible for
forming bandleader Johnny Pachceco's early musical style.

Swinging.

"Conjunto Caney y sus Invitados"
Reynaldo Hierrezuelo "Rey Caney" on several songs.

I prefer this to the "Greatest Hits' CD below.
