Title: State of Cuban music 1979
Product review: This was the state of Cuban music in 1979, the product of jam sessions convened by trombonist/producer/arranger Juan Pablo Torres at the famed EGREM studio. "Estrellas de Areito" means "Stars of Areito" in English, referring to the fact that the albums were originally released on Areito, a Cuban government label. The performances are a little repititious, but this is more than compensated by the spirited vocals and wonderful solos by Ruben Gonzalez, Arturo Sandoval, Nino Rivera, Paquito D'Rivera and other worthy souls, some of whom would later defect to the USA.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
