Juan de Marcos Gonzales and Afro Cuban All Stars. Absolutely Live

Description

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. This compilation features two separate live sets performed by different incarnations of The Afro-Cuban All-Stars; one, filmed in Japan, features such selections as "Tanga/Distinto, Diferente," and "Habana del Este"; the other, filmed at The Hague in The Netherlands, features such selections as "Cantante/Viruta," and "Adivinador." Don't miss a fantastic live recording of these living Afro-Cuban legends! (161 minutes)
