Cuban All Stars

Cuban All Stars

Cuban All Stars"" If you have never been to Havana before (really San CristÃ³bal de La Habana) then you really must look at the beautiful sights of the capital of Cuba. They attract more and more tourists all the time, and with good reason. The traveller to the metropolis of two million inhabitants certainly mustn't miss the Malecon Promenade or the El Morro fortress which flank the harbour. Hemingway's favourite bars ""Floridita"" and ""Bodeguita del Medio"" are also a must. The Botanical Gardens, the Revolution Museum, the Miramar Aquarium and the legendary Tropicana night club, where Frank Sinatra and Josephine Baker once appeared, are also popular attractions. The old town, which UNESCO has declared part of the world cultural heritage, awaits the globetrotter with splendid buildings in Spanish colonial style. And finally the compulsory detour to one of the many cigar factories (e.g. Upmann) tells the visitor more about one of Cuba's most important exports. It starts off with the great Compay Segundo, member of the Buena Vista Social Club, and his unforgotten evergreen ""Chan Chan"". Cesar Pedroso, who for more than ten years was the pianist for Los Van Van and delivered hits to famous artists such as Celia Cruz, brings us the high-spirited track ""Que Cosa Tiene La Vida"". With ""Bongo Se Fue Pa'l Congo"" (no. 1 in the Cuban charts) Tiburon Morales spreads good feelings and gets us dancing. Pio Leiva, mentioned at the beginning, who has recorded more than a hundred records in his long career, presents his successful piece ""Cuando Ya No Me Quieras"". ""Macoris"" by percussionist Patato Valdes is a prime example of the genre of Cuban jazz. Rudy Calzado, also indefatigable in his seventh decade, invites us to sing along with his catch-tune ""Kikiriki"". And last but not least Juan Pablo Torres presents Glenn Miller's classic ""Moonlight Serenade"" in a fascinating Latin version.
