World Circuit WCD049. 1997
Oh, what the hell. I need something to take the taste of Diamanda Galas away...
Part of that whole Buena Vista Social Club thing that made Cuban music reet popular a few years back. This chap is pretty damn good with his joanna.
I was in Havana in November 2003 to look at some artsy stuff, and while wandering the back streets at night the air is heaving with music like this. Literally every other bar has a live band belting out Cumbanchero.
Hang on, I've been through this in the BVSC entry. Sorry.
Back to Rubén. Good stuff, but nothing to make it stand out from everything else BVSC-related.
