Album Notes & Community Reviews

The acclaimed avant-garde guitarist leads this highly infectious tribute project celebrating the compositions of Cuban bandleader Arsenio Rodr铆guez. Ribot injects his signature angular, distorted guitar phrasing into traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms, resulting in a joyously vibrant, fiercely modern reinterpretation of classic Latin music.
