Editorial Review: Album Description: As Cooder has written - ''You can look at this as a road trip through different worldless fantasy landscapes. Sometimes you're in bright daylight, sometimes the streets are dark & empty. You're riding with the Conjunto Sinuendo - drummers Jim Keltner & Joachim Cooder, Conga-player ''Anga'' Diaz, & bassist Cachaito Lopez, to hold you on the road. High performance Twang!'' Slipcase. Nonesuch. 2003. Amazon.com: If there's a certain instant familiarity to this collaborative celebration between U.S. guitar icon/musicologist Ry Cooder and Cuban fret legend Manuel Galbán, it's only testimony to how deeply the island nation's rich musical heritage permeated American pop music in the '50s, '60s, and beyond. Cooder and Galbán (a key compatriot in the American guitarist's Buena Vista Social Club project) invent a back-to-the-future sound--twin guitars fronting a Cuban rhythm section of two drum kits, congas, and bass--whose dreamy swing quotient is matched only by its sense of mirthful abandon. Thus tracks like "Dru Me Negrita" and "Los Twangueros" manage to evoke everything from Link Wray, Duane Eddy, and the Ventures to Mancini and Esquivel, while Cooder and Galbán twirl a standard like "Patricia" and the nervy title track around dueling poles of tradition and experimentation with deceptive grace. It's joyous, mercurial stuff that the two musicians conjure at their fingertips. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - I am hopelessly addicted to this albumNo "Manteca" here, but I am hopelessly addicted to this album anyway. If you listen to Cuban music you will probably hear a lot of versions of "Drume Negrita" (which I think is really "Dru me Negrita") but the heavy metal here is very hypnotic. Rating:  - Not my favorite Ry Cooder recordI have several Ry Cooder records. I like all of them, some more than others, and this is not one of my favorites. As usual for a Ry Cooder record, the musicianship is great but the concept doesn't work too well for me. There is less variety on this record than some of Cooder's other records. The music is very stylized and I find that a whole record of this music is a bit much. This record is mostly instrumental (the limited vocals are in Spanish) and I think that contributes to the sameness of the music. It is pleasant background music, but a little dull. Rating: - midnight at the club !I love this album. I got the feeling of being in a club listening to a band late at night who were as buzzed as the audience.Boozy/bluesy vibe over latin percussion. The ultimate lounge album. You can almost see the couples dancing slow to the rhythms.Great music. Rating: - Another great Cooder albumLots of lush reverb and ringing chords, surfed-out tones and tropical vibes, lazy tribal riddims and colorful melodic pastiches. Perfect for zoning out in a hammock on the beach, watching the sun set and the moon rise. Drift away... Rating: - Mambo SinuendoExcellent album, , merging of cubano / latino sounds and rhythm combinations with early 60's guitar sound and electric amp effects. Best Ry Cooder album I've purchased. |
