Album Notes & Community Reviews

Captured in the legendary Havana bar and restaurant of the same name, this historic recording documents the authentic, unvarnished sound of Cuban traditional music. The intricate acoustic guitar work and impassioned vocal harmonies vividly reflect the vibrant, pre-revolutionary bohemian atmosphere of the city. It remains a crucial, highly evocative preservation of the island's foundational folk-music roots.
