Title: One of the best ever!!
Product review: Eliades Ochoa expresses the soul of Cuban music, not the big band or piano-driven style, but the trio/quartet guitar-based style. He plays a six string guitar with the third string doubled an octave higher, which gives a special ring all his own, somewhat like Compay Segundo's guitar sound. And Eliades' singing is absolutely tremendous. I saw him perform when he toured the States. His stage presence was surprisingly like Jerry Garcia's, in that he never looked at his guitar, rather at the audience the whole time, singing magnificently and ripping his trademark rides on every song. Every player in his band was superb and they rocked the house here in Austin, TX. I heartily recommend any of his CDs, particularly Son de Santiago, this one, Chanchaneando (a couple of lovely duets with Compay Segundo) and the best of them all, Sublime Ilusion.
