AHORA SI! marks influential Cuban bassist Cachao's fourth collaboration with actor Andy Garcia (who serves a producer and an auxiliary percussionist). After Garcia's documentary about Cachao appeared in the early 1990s, his public profile rose, but the fiery Afro-Cuban rhythms and mambo-based grooves he has been generating since the '50s have remained solid and enjoyable all the while. This 2004 album captures Cachao working with a group that includes Nelson Gonzalez on guitar, Jimmy Bosch on trombone, and Orestes Vilato on timbales.
"Mambo Cambio De Swing" opens the album with a dose of classic mambo rhythm, while the fierce "Queja Africana/Protesta Abakua" takes the Cuban tradition back to its roots in Africa. There are a few reflective moments, like the folksy "Guajira Clasica," sweetened by an aching violin, but, for the most part, the fare here is straight Afro-Cuban groove, with plenty of clattering percussion, call-and-response vocals, and Cachao's nimble, sturdy bass holding it all together. AHORA SI! keeps Cachao's living legend simmering.
Israel Lopez "Cachao" is one of the last living links to Cuba's rich musical heritage. This CD/DVD combination package features a 10-song CD with new material by Cacho, featuring the Cineson All-Stars, a band comprised of the world's most renowned musicians and a bonus DVD containing a 60 minute film directed by Andy Garcia. The DVD includes 9 music videos.
