apachetear2013

Review by Jennifer Davis

Juan De Marcos' Afro Cuban All Stars' album, Distinto Diferente, is a stunning collection of traditional Cuban music with a modern twist. The album features a mix of classic Cuban rhythms, such as son, bolero, and rumba, as well as more contemporary sounds, including jazz and funk.

The musicianship on this album is top-notch, with each track showcasing the incredible talent of the band members. The arrangements are expertly crafted, with a perfect balance of instrumentation and vocals.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "La Rosa Oriental," a beautiful bolero that showcases the soulful vocals of guest singer Omara Portuondo. Another highlight is "La Sitiera," a lively son that features a catchy melody and infectious rhythm.

About Juan De Marcos' Afro Cuban All Stars

Juan de Marcos González is one of the most important figures in Cuban music today. He has a mission to show the world the wealth, diversity and vitality of Cuban music. His work with the Afro-Cuban All Stars, the Buena Vista Social Club, Rubén González, Ibrahim Ferrer, Sierra Maestra and others has made an extraordinary contribution to raising the profile of Cuban music throughout the world. However, neither his name nor his crucial contribution is well known to the general public and he remains something of an unsung hero of Cuban music. González was born in Havana in 1954 and grew up surrounded by music (his father was a singer and played with Arsenio Rodríguez amongst others). At university he studied hydraulic engineering and Russian before working as a consultant at the Agronomic Science Institute, gaining his doctorate in 1989. While at university he co-founded the group Sierra Maestra in 1978. Styled as a traditional Cuban septeto group (tres, trumpet, bass, percussion and vocals), the dynamic young band's aim was to bring about an appreciation of Cuban son by the youth of the island. The band achieved great success, recording fourteen albums in Cuba, touring Africa and Europe and receiving various awards. In 1994, González began his association with the London based record label World Circuit, when the band recorded the album '¡Dundunbanza!' (WCD041). For this recording, World Circuit's Nick Gold encouraged the group to expand their line-up to include piano, congas and a trumpet section in a tribute to the forties and fifties styles of Arsenio Rodríguez. Having found success and a common ground González and Gold looked to develop this understanding further with a big band recording in Havana, featuring the neglected stars of this 'golden age' of Cuban music. González had long harboured a dream to put together a band combining the 'old masters' and the new generation of Cuban musicians. "I wanted to mix the generations so there is the experience of the older guys and the energy of the younger players
