Cachao's Mambo All Stars - Como Siempre (2009)

Close

Israel Cachao Lopez may have left us in recent years, but the spirit of his music lives on beautifully – thanks to the work of his Mambo All Stars group! The combo's directed by Germain Piferrer, who also handles the arrangements – and most of the music here echoes with the older Cuban sounds that Cachao first helped pioneer many years back – a very jazzy take on Afro-Cuban music, presented here with a hip lineup of saxes, trombones, trumpet, and flute – plus plenty of percussion too! Jorge Luis Sosa plays piano in the group, and vocals are by Tony Columbie and Dnaiel Palacio – on titles that include "Cunde", "Contigo Voy", "Dulce Guayaba", "Tun Tun", "Maria G", "El Platanal De Bartolo", "La Guajira", and "El Amor Te Llego"
