Buju Banton Til Shiloh... CD (1995) Bonus Tracks; Remastered

Forbidden Cuba, Vol. 1 music CDs

$11.05

It was not pure ego that led Buju Banton to title his 1993 album VOICE OF JAMAICA; his unique voice is a gruff, melodic instrument, and his lyrics are precise. He built his career on controversial hits and slacker anthems, but has since helped spearhead a movement to swing reggae's pendulum away from sex and violence, back towards conscious lyrics and Rastafarian themes. On `TIL SHILOH, the voice of Jamaica has visibly evolved. Still, don't let all this consciousness ...

Ry Cooder Chavez Ravine CD (2005)

Forbidden Cuba, Vol. 1 CD music

$17.89

With help from musicians associated with the era and location (including Don Tosti, Lalo Guerrero, and Thee Midnighters' Little Willie G.) and studio musicians Jim Keltner, Jon Hassell, and legendary Tex-Mex accordionist Flaco Jimenez, Cooder has created a musical novel that richly celebrates the music, life, and lingering mythos of Chavez Ravine, an L.A. neighborhood razed by the city in the interest of big business (namely to build a stadium for the soon-to-be L.A. Dodgers). Stylistically, the album, performed in both Spanish and English, encompasses Latin folk forms, swing, atmospheric ballads, rhumba, and R&B. Yet the whole feels so rooted in history, so packed with real characters (like boxer Carlos Chavez) and stories (like a Pachuco-slang-speaking ...

Who would have ever guessed that the son of the writers of theme songs for TV's FACTS OF LIFE and DIFFERENT STROKES would grow up to become one of the most exciting R&B artists of the early 21st century? Well that's exactly the case with Robin Thicke (son of TV personalities/composers Alan Thicke and Gloria Loring). Thicke's debut album A BEAUTIFUL WORLD puts Justin Timberlake to shame in the caucasian-Michael Jackson sweepstakes, even as it leaves behind ...

Bia Carmin CD (2003) (Import) Canada

Forbidden Cuba, Vol. 1 songs

$31.55
This 2003 album from talented Braziian singer Bia finds her hearkening back to her roots, with more Portuguese numbers among its 13 tracks, which offer an excellent blend of "gypsy jazz," bossa, and modern musical styles. Brazilian music went emphatically back into fashion in the mid-'90s, partially as a result of the short-lived lounge revival's interest in '60s bossa nova. That the interest in Brazilian music from all decades has long outlived that pop-cultural blip is testament to the fundamental appeal of this mixture of acoustic guitar, jazz phrasing, and captivating rhythms. Many of the best practitioners in this Brazilian jazz revival aren't even Brazilian, in fact. (There's a huge Brazilian jazz scene in, of all places, ...

Clifton Chenier Louisiana Blues & Zydeco CD (1965) Remix

Forbidden Cuba, Vol. 1 album

$9.89

These dozen and a half songs span the couple years on either side of Chenier's big introduction into the blues world at the 1966 Berkeley Blues Festival in California. Immediately embraced by this audience, the Bay area label Arhoolie began recording him regularly. What's reassuring is how the intense and honest power of his Texas recordings was maintained in these new environs. Working with his core band (most notably his brother Cleveland Chenier on rub-board), the were a well-seasoned unit made strong from playing endless dances throughout the Bayou region. The album's title is a succinct bit of truth in advertising--it is indeed a winning set of blues and zydeco. Besides being a wonder on the accordion, Chenier possess a voice equally at ease with bluesy balladry and boastful strutting. Right in the beginning of his career as the "King of Zydeco", Clifton Chenier recorded an album for an upstart Arhoolie. At the time, the genre was just starting to spread outside of the bayou proper, and the album is one of the landmarks both for Chenier and for the industry and genre. Unfortunately, the recording quality was never particularly good. Some of the parts were recorded only weakly, there was some scratchiness -- the usual. Thirty or forty years in, however, Arhoolie has remastered the old classics and re-released them in stereo. The compositions themselves are largely the same as previously, but they sound vastly better. Perhaps the bigger treat here though is the clump of unreleased material that comes along for the ride. There are a pair of alternate takes from the originals added in, and four items ...
