Caridad Cuervo - Sambason

Review by Dan Wagoner

Sambason is an electrifying album by Caridad Cuervo that is sure to get you on your feet and dancing. The album features a mix of traditional Cuban rhythms and contemporary jazz elements, creating a unique sound that is both familiar and fresh.

Cuervo's powerful vocals are the centerpiece of the album, soaring over the dynamic percussion and intricate horn arrangements. Each track is a celebration of Cuban culture, with lively rhythms and infectious melodies that will transport listeners to the streets of Havana.

The album opens with the energetic "Sambason", a tribute to the samba and son rhythms that are at the heart of Cuban music. "Guajira" is a slower, more contemplative track that showcases Cuervo's emotive voice and the beautiful interplay between the horns and percussion.

Other standout tracks include "Mambo Influenciado", a classic Cuban mambo with a modern twist, and "La Comparsa", a hauntingly beautiful ballad that showcases Cuervo's range and versatility.

Summary by Dan Wagoner

Sambason is a must-listen for anyone who loves Cuban music or is looking for something new and exciting. Cuervo's passion and talent shine through on every track, making this album a true masterpiece.
