In 1997, guitar player extraordinaire and genre chameleon Ry Cooder flew all the way to Cuba to round-up and record an album with surviving musicians of the pre-Castro Havana club sceneThe end result - Buena Vista Social Club - garnered rave reviews upon its release.
But an album sung entirely in Spanish? That's the big question mark. Well, for me at least.
Not anymore.
If I can listen to the ethereal world music of Enya and to the bossa nova of Antonio Carlos Jobim, then why not to some son, bolero and guajira?
I believe now that music has this unique way of touching the inner core of a listener regardless of genre, age and of course, language.
So, what are you waiting for? Fix your favorite Cuban concoction, sit back, relax and enjoy the music!
