The acclaim of the original album has elevated the artists (including Ibrahim Ferrer, Rubén González & Omara Portuondo) to superstar status, inspired an award-winning film by Wim Wenders, and has contributed to popularising Cuba’s rich musical heritage. Produced by Ry Cooder for World Circuit, the timeless quality of the music and the sheer verve of the veteran performers have ensured that this will go down as one of the landmark recordings of the 20th century”.
The project is about the Edgar Macías Quintet’s “take” on this album or rendition of it. Every single track from this landmark album has been re-arranged and adapted for a Latin Jazz Quintet format, based on the abilities of each member of the group.
Line Up: Edgar Macias – piano/vocals, Chris Bowden, alto sax & hand percussion, Tom Hill – bass/vocals, Miles Levin – drums & Richard Sealy, congas & percussion
