Title: Mariano Merceron- La Epoca de Oro
Product review: I wouldn't be bothered writing a review about this lilliputian compilation by BMG, except to say that it is beyond me why the folks at BMG keep re-issuing meaningless little compilations of the same recordings over and over again. I consider this an insult to Mariano Merceron's memory! Mariano Merceron was one of Cuba's leading composers and band leaders. At one time in 1952, he featured luminaries like Beny More, Pacho Alonso and Fernando Alvarez on vocals inhis gigantic jazz band, not to mention composer and pianist Juan Bruno Tarraza on piano! To shelve all those wonderful recorded treasures by Mariano & Guests and just re-issue this microscopic compilation is totally ridiculous and shows how much the present administration at BMG Latin knows and cares about the golden era of afro-cuban music!
