Los Van Van - Tres Decadas De Cuba: El Son Vina De Cuba CD

Tres Decadas De Cuba: El Son Vina De Cuba buy CD music Accompanied by simple, mostly acoustic instrumentation, Guerra turns his lyrical acumen (which on previous albums has found him upholding the rights of the poor and disenfranchised) to 11 straightforward and often--as in the case of the pulsating "Los Dinteles"--extremely danceable hymns of praise to God. A Beatles influence may subtly inflect the "Across the Universe"-type riff of "Tan Solo He Venido," but PARA TI remains focused on godly inspiration, and this is powerfully displayed throughout the devotional set. Though he's a Berklee College of Music graduate whose first recordings owed a considerable debt to Manhattan Transfer, Juan Luis Guerra made his name with a series of merengue-based albums in the 1980s. Guerra's 2004 recording, PARA TI, his first since 1998's NI ES LO MISMO NI ES IGUAL, returns to this winning sound, but with a twist. This collection of ballads, merengue, and pop-based tracks is firmly based on religious themes, from the opening militant merengue of "Soldado" to the simple beauty of the acoustic "Cancion de Sanidad." Personnel: Juan Luis Guerra (guitars); Luis DelRosario (alto saxophone, tenor saxophone); Rodheb Santos (trumpet); Juan Jose Flete (trombone); Marco Hernández, Janina Rosado (piano); Ruben Toribio, Abednego DeLos Santos (bajon); Ezequiel Francisco (drums); Juan "Chocolate" DeLaCruz (congas, bongos, tambora); Rafael "Rafo" German (guiro); Isdro Bobadilla, Luis Mojíca, David Armengot (percussion).

Tres Decadas De Cuba: El Son Vina De Cuba songs Continuing the journey into full-blown soft-rock Five for Fighting began on 2006's TWO LIGHTS, 2009's SLICE takes its title from a Don McLean "American Pie" allusion and its sound from early '70s Billy Joel and, especially, Elton John whose grandly orchestrated albums with Paul Buckmaster provide a touchstone for this, John Ondrasik's fifth collection of originals. Indebted as he is to the past, he is indeed a man of his time, well-manicured and polite, never coloring outside of the lines, but this inherent good-nature serves him better on SLICE than it did on his early recordings because the emphasis is on the sound, not his quivering sincerity. Each song is richly, fully arranged, placing emphasis on his symphonic soft-rock, and in pure musical terms, this is his most appealing set of songs to date precisely because it pushes his melodies, not lyrics, to the forefront.
