Grupo Irakere - Grupo Irakere
Review by Westley English
Grupo Irakere's self-titled album is a masterpiece of Latin jazz that showcases the Cuban band's virtuosity and versatility. Released in 1978, the album features a mix of original compositions and classic Cuban tunes, arranged with a fusion of jazz, funk, and Afro-Cuban rhythms.
Led by pianist Chucho Valdés, Irakere's ensemble of horns, percussion, and vocals creates a dynamic and vibrant sound that is both sophisticated and soulful. The opening track, "Bacalao con Pan," sets the tone with its infectious groove and catchy melody, while "Chekere-son" and "Misa Negra" showcase the band's improvisational skills and intricate arrangements.
Throughout the album, Irakere blends traditional Cuban music with contemporary jazz, incorporating elements of funk, rock, and even classical music. The result is a unique and innovative sound that has influenced generations of Latin jazz musicians.

Wtf!! Exelent
Carajo Cuba, los amo <3
No tan apreciado por los bailadores cubanos, debido al carácter selecto de sus composiciones y arreglos, demasiados escolásticos para algunos, hay que reconocer, sin embargo, que Irakere es la más extraordinaria agrupación musical que ha dado Cuba y para ello basta echar un vistazo a los nombres de los músicos que por allí han pasado (Chucho, Arturo, Paquito; Averoff,) Es la música cubana elevada a la enésima potencia y para los de mi generación fue un privilegio haberlos presenciado tocar juntos.
IRAKERE es y sera siempre numero 1 ******
O tal vez Averhoff!!!
Tremendo arreglo. Toca Paquito D´Rivera
