This is a masterpiece, in this event there were all the Cuban legend members together, the show had been recorded in a double CD with sixteen classic songs. If you would like to know Cuban music, you must listen to this amazing work. It has a lot of rhythm, incredible voices and great musicians.
Compay Segundo, Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo, Pio Leiva, Eliades Ochoa, and others play Chan Chan, Dos Gardenias, Quizás, Quizás, 20 años and more, invite us to dance to caribean rhythm. Trust me, you must listen to this before you die.

Pink Martini
My first meeting with this group (Pink Martini) was unusual, nobody recommended it to me, I didn't listen to them on the radio and never saw them on the internet.
One day when my family went shopping, I decided to look for some cds at a music store. The shop had an amazing variety of artists and albums from any kind of countries and styles, I felt like a kid in Disneyworld. While I looked around,a legend over a cover(Simpatique) surprised me, it said "Pink Martini makes a better world". Immediately I told myself "you must listen to this!" and obviously I bought it.
Later when I was driving my car and listened to the CD on the stereo, the story started, the first song "Amado mío", a Spanish love song but it was sung in English. Beautiful voice, amazing arrangements, great musicians with a latin rhythm. Strange but interesting. Second track, tremendous rhythm and great energy. The third song sounds as if Edith Piaf sang it on a radio broadcast fifty years ago. The frosting on the cake of the album "La soledad y ¿Donde estás Yolanda ?", those were sung by a Spanish singer with a voice perfect to listen to romantic songs and to dance. To finish this masterpiece a classical Greek song and a Japanese one.
If you read this post and listen to these songs, may be you can understand why I am a Pink Martini Fan!!!
