Quimbombó
Quimbombó
CD (Testa Dura Records
001), Released 2004;
Editor's Pick:
The Cuban son spirit is alive and well and nourished by Quimbombó, the band
founded in 1995 by bongocero Nick Herman.
With interpretations of Cuban classics ("Hijo
Del Siboney," "Quimbombó") plus a
few original tracks including the montuno-blues
"Sluggo," Quimbombó is a testament to the
timeless beauty, drive and sheer pleasure of the son.
Produced by bassist Andy Gonzalez (Conjunto Libre, Fort Apache Band etc.), who also contributes to
several of the tracks here. Excellent vocals by David Oquendo.
Highly recommended. (BP, 2004-04-20)
