Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by actor Andy Garcia to honor the legendary Cuban bassist and composer, this Grammy-winning record sparked a massive late-career revival for Israel 'Cachao' L贸pez. The album is a brilliant, highly rhythmic showcase of traditional Cuban danz贸n and fiery, improvisational descargas.
