Homenaje a Jose Maria Cagigal

If this music sounds familiar to you, you're right… "Pablo el enterrador" (Paul the gravedigger) from Rosario, Argentina, might have been buried himself after the death of Jorge "Turco" Antún. However, his heritage lives on in the form of "La Herencia de Pablo" (The heritage of Paul). The familiar sound is, of course, due to the fact that José María Blanc was the lead singer of "Pablo". He also played guitar and bass then, but now switched to keyboards on this album. Fellow "Pablo" member Marcelo Salí, who played the drums on all of the three legendary albums, is invited as guest, contributing as well to the familiar sound of this wonderful revival project.

Irakere (faux-Yoruba for 'forest') is a Cuban band founded by pianist Chucho Valdés (son of Bebo Valdés) in 1973. They won the Grammy Award for Best Latin Recording in 1980 with their album Irakere. Irakere was a seminal musical laboratory, where historic innovations in both Afro-Cuban jazz and Cuban popular dance music were created. The group used a wide array of percussion instruments like batá, abakuá and arará drums, chequerés, erikundis, maracas, claves, cencerros, bongó, tumbadoras (congas), and güiro.
