Compay Segundo "Grandes Exitos" - 17 greatest hits from Francisco Repilado (aka Compay Segundo), now in his mid-90's. He's a unique man, a living legend, who plays a unique instrument -- a hybrid of the tres and the guitar created by Compay to suit himself. The numbers on this CD come from recording sessions spanning half a century and include popular Cuban songs that Compay made famous and that made Compay famous in Cuba, in Europe, and finally in the US. Several are his own compositions. One of the Buena Vista Social Club superstars. $16.98 |

Omara Portuondo - She came to global prominence as the female singer on the Buena Vista Social Club, but Omara Portuondo has a career that stretches back many years. She sounds for all the world like a Cuban Billy Holiday, smoky and quietly tragic, with a history of lost love. The lush arrangements, which often sound transplanted straight from 1950s Havana, frame her voice exquisitely with guests such as Ibrahim Ferrer, Compay Segundo and Ruben Gonzalez. The disc is slightly jazzy, with a yearning vocal that's emotive without ever being overwrought. There's little doubt that Portuondo is a world-class singer, and this is the ideal showcase for her extraordinary talents. $17.98 |

Orishas "A Lo Cubano" - The Orishas, a Cuban group based in France, use Afro-Cuban religion to summon the spirit of hip-hop. Named for gods of Santeria, they came together in 1998 through a cultural exchange program between French and Cuban rappers. Collaborating with French hip-hop producer Miko Niko, they bring the attitude of Havana streets to the rest of the world, appealing to the Buena Vista Social Club crowd as well as the hip-hop heads. The sound of sacred Santeria beats and traditional son weaving through sharp-edged lyrical attacks with groove-heavy bass and drum tracks make for a cool joyride through the back streets of Havana. $16.98 |
