Gilles Peterson's own Buena Vista Social Club or GP's Juan Marcos' Afro-Cuban All-Stars. Only not as good. On CD 1, we're on a jazzy tip, give or take the odd cover of a classic Fela Kuti track. Rather foot-tappingly pleasant but not earth-shakingly good. On CD 2, we mostly get Cuban rap music. At best, it sounds a bit like Ozomatli. And Ozomatli are not always very good. At worst, it sounds like some best forgotten mid-1990s 'Acid Jazz' tracks but with Spanish rap all over it. So, thanks Gilles for the discoveries and all, but a tighter, crispier beat and a less americanized take on the "now" Cuban music would have been better appreciated.

If, like me, you consider names like Gilles Peterson or Charlie Gillett a stamp of quality, you won't go far wrong with this, a tasty balance between traditional musicianship on Disc 1 for those who have all the BVSC material, and the contemporary. For those of us not lucky enough to have visited Cuba, this is a window on what is happening now. It's clearly not all an island-wide post-communist salsa class smelling of cigar smoke. So Disc 2 may tempt you to save for a ticket. On a lower budget, maybe this and a cocktail kit, munchies and some friends will be a fun and funky replication. The sun you have to imagine! It beats me why no label has asked Andy Kershaw to put his name to a compilation. It's co-produced by Roberto Fonseca, great and informative packaging, wide range of styles, clearly representing the best of the new Cuban wave. You may find yourself preferring one disc to the other, but they're both great.

The only successful invasion of Cuba from the USA has been from the army of Jazz musicians that crossed their shores defying the embargo, the result was the fusion of African rhythms and Latin beats producing Afro Cuban Jazz. Artists such as Dizzy Gillespie were treated as dignitaries by the Cuban authorities as he played free venues and as he subsequently found out going through customs having forgot his passport, the guards laughed telling him Dizzy Gillespie needs no passport to enter Cuba.
Disk 1 highlights this fusion of African and Latin music with covers of Fela Kuti's track Roforofo Fight and Kenny Dorham's Afrodesia.
Disk 2 gives us a more up date Cuban sound but perhaps requires the influence of a second generation of African Americans to give it more of a groove.
