Here comes...el Son - Songs of The Beatles with a Cuban TWIST
Songs of THE BEATLES?with a Cuban TWIST. Here Comes?el Son merges the spirit of The Beatles with the soul of Cuban music. It offers Beatles fans a rare bifocal musical experience: familiar Fab Four tunes rendered in grassroots Afro-Cuban rhythms. This musically rich CD also presents the music enthusiast with an exotic compilation of songs of the most famous Rock ?n Roll group in the world in styles never heard before. HISTORICAL FACTS
Banned in Cuba during the early years of the revolution, Beatles music managed to break through and establish a following that endures to this day in Cuba. HCES emerges from that following as the FIRST record of Beatles songs played in traditional Cuban musical rhythms. It is also the FIRST record performed in English by Cuban musicians residing in Cuba.

Interesting CD
This CD was more interesting than anything. Some of the renditions were outright goofy but enjoyable overall. I'd say buy it to support the Cuban musicians that made it.

More substance than not

Magnificent
Very warm, thoughtful and enjoyable. A gem. Has a "sad" longing sound, the players must really want to be in Havana -without Castro- to have inadvertely influx that sadness in their adaptation's dna.

Simply excellent.
Although making versions of already famous songs guarantees success, these musicians have paid due respect to them by accompanying the lyrics with beautiful arrangements. You'll be delighted.

Cuban Cheese
I'm usually a fan of "tribute" CD's, unfortunately I found this one to be a disappointment. A few of the selections have interesting rhythmic and acappella arangements, "Because" and "Hello Goodbye". But most of it just comes accross as rather cheesy. It sort of sounds like a Carribean cruise...

Terrific Cuban tribute to the Beatles
Despite being originally banned by Castro, Beatles music has been a major influence on Cuban music, as it has on so many other types of music around the world. This album was inspired by a book about an international symposium held in Havana to discuss Beatles music.This was the first album...
