The Cuban campesino band that calls itself Saborit today actually began in the '80s as Grupo Eduardo Saborit in honor of Eduardo Saborit, the late composer of "Que Linda Es Mi Cuba," the song after which this album is titled. One of the most fondly remembered anthems of the Cuban revolution, it does not, ironically, appear on this recording. Nor was Eduardo Saborit himself ever in the group. But if that's all a bit confusing, don't worry, the music isn't. It's as purely Cuban as the benchmark productions of the Buena Vista Social Club, albeit with a more rural edge, influenced by such traditional styles as son, cumbia, rhumba, and guaracha and performed to perfection by the eight-piece ensemble founded (and still led) by Leonardo Garcia Alarcon. Que Linda Es Mi Cuba is the first U.S. release by the group from the town of Manzanillo that has been entertaining the locals for years, some of the players for upwards of four decades. Using traditional Caribbean instruments such as the tres guitar and the guiro, Alarcon concocts a sparkling, danceable set built around Saborit's intuitive interplay, soaring lead vocals, bold harmonies, and overall festive mood. The sound is crystalline, allowing each player's contribution to make its mark throughout this consistently invigorating performance. ~ Jeff Tamarkin

Que Linda Es Mi Cuba album
 $10.75 
This, the first recording by the Vandermark 5, created a template for the next several releases by the band: relatively concise compositions alternating up-tempo burners with contemplative numbers, hewing to a post-Ornette Coleman approach that touched on free improv while essentially remaining fairly straightforward. Vandermark, who ...

Kalimba Marichal Ibar's career is the stuff that pop star dreams are made of. From childhood television appearances to joining up with youth vocal pop group la Onda Vaselina (with whom he would stay for three years), this could only be foreshadowing to his inevitable debut as solo artist. Like a Mexican Justin Timberlake, this child performer turned pop group member turned ...

"SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA...In my opinion is probably not a complete enough title for this CD. How about adding ...AND EVERYWHERE ELSE! When I was asked by the guys to do the liner notes, I'll have to admit, I thought it might be a bit difficult reviewing 19 tracks of guitar surf music, but The Torquays really pulled this one off by expanding the horizons of surf music boundaries.... These tunes are well written, tastefully recorded and produced... Hats off to the performance of The Torquays! Play it...and you'll wind up listening to it again and again. And I believe it very well may take you on a musical adventure to...SOMEWHERE IN CALIFORNIA...AND EVERYWHERE ELSE!"George Tomsco - The Fireballs (USA)"The term 'Endless Summer' has become synonymous with surfing and 'hanging out' at the beach. The Torquays sound is at once graceful, powerful and haunting. Like the surfers who make wave riding the largest of waves look effortless, The Torquays have found a similarly magic way of riding sonic waves."Robert Kinsler - Orange County Register (USA)"Sometimes I despair that the art of creating 60's style surf instrumentals is dead...and then along come The Torquays...they have the polish of 'The Challengers' and a range of smooth guitar sounds to match, plus flair, an affinity for more echo and an injection of reverb to add excitement."Alan Taylor - Pipeline Magazine (UK)"Modern bands playing surf instrumental music are generally grouped into two categories, those who take a purely traditional approach to the music and those who don't. In the latter category, few bands ...
