Editor's Review:

The lyrics of Cuban Street Party highlight the connection between the body, the heart and the beat. A combination of the experienced and the nuevo, these men and women are both Cuban residents and US-based Cuban exiles. They speak and sing in Spanish about lips and smiles over full-bodied instrumentals built on a bevy of tools. Spanish guitar, various forms of natural percussion and the near-constant presence of brass all intertwine perfectly to lead one’s elbows in tight, alternating parallel orbits. Cuba has always seemed a mysterious and dangerous land to this writer, but these intoxicating rhythms not only show the similarity of its people to ours, but also serve as a powerful tourism invitation.
