Product Description

Album Description

Cuban musician Miguel 'Anga' Diaz is one of the world's great congueros and veteran of the Buena Vista Social Club. Echu Mingua, his debut album as a bandleader, is an innovative set that combines a diverse range of styles and influences. Featuring the great Cachaito Lopez on bass, Malian griot Baba Sissoko, pioneering French DJ Dee Nasty, Magic Malik on flute, and virtuoso Cuban pianists Chucho Valdes and Ruben Gonzalez, Echu Mingua continues to defy categorisation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, 13 Jan 2006

By	Steve McCredie (Blackpool, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

Not your usual world music album, even the oh-so-hip Gilles Peterson had Echu Mingua as one of the albums of 2005 in his Worldwide poll - and it's no surprise.

As well as being the greatest conga player in the world, Anga has produced and album with incredible scope and diversity with an album that does something rare in music: combines vitruosity with soul and passion to produce something magical.

If you're looking for something that little different then this is the ideal place to start, I'd give it 6 stars if I could!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cuban freestyle, 23 Jan 2008

By	Djeliah "Djeliah" (London, UK) - See all my reviews

This album is very precious because it is one of the few recordings of Cuban conga virtuoso Migel Anga Diaz. Anga's magical spirit is kept in this album, digging the roots of Afro Cuban musical and spiritual tradition, taking it to the finest jazz with a blissful interpretation of Coltrane's Love Supreme and some hip-hop extensions with Dee-Nasty's scratches and Magic Malik's funky flute. I love this album because it is unconventional, organic and personal, the future of Cuban music...we will talk about it in a few years for sure, buy it before it becomes a pricy collector.

3.0 out of 5 stars Echu Mingua - a review., 17 May 2005

By	J. D. Naylor "jazzfan" (England) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This album suffers from the "too many cooks" syndrome with such a large aray of styles,influences,instruments and guest stars.
Diaz is a percussionist of great talent but sometimes he overplays his hand a bit too much.When an album encompasses Afro,Latin,jazz,classical,hip-hop,sampling,voice effects you know you are in for "mixed bag" of an album.
Complaints aside - there is some fine music to be had - and none better than "A love supreme" which is given the full Latin treatment with string accompanyment and sampling/voice effects.
Unfortunately the whole thing is just too varied too be classed as Great but is pretty good nevertheless.
