Title: Vintage Guitar magazine review:
Product review: Ninety years of age seems a fine time to bring out a CD. Cuba's elder statesman of music, Compay Segundo, first found a wide listening audience in the USA with Ry Cooder's formidable Buena Vista Social Club album. But Segundo has been playing in his native land for almost seventy-five years now. Still, it's never to late to catch onto a good thing. This new, solo album features Segundo's haunting vocals front and center, accompanied by his armonico guitar, a seven-string creation with only six tones, the third string repeating a tone. He is joined by a variety of musicians, incuding Raimundo Amador and his flamenco guitar, and many others. The sound of Segundo's sons and other songs is a lilting, bouncing feel, propelled by the soft percussion of bongos and maracas. The music is sweetly evocative, perfect for dancing or staring into the bottom of a glass of beer.
