Title: What were they thinking??
Review: El Guayabero is certainly of music's greats. Cuban or otherwise.But this cd is an abomination.Who though that it'd be a good idea to have a bunch of third rate backup singers trying to sing what they imagine is Cuban choruses?The background singers sound like a bad imitation of generic Latin singers. Heck, they don't even sound Cuban. The CD was recorded in the Nanary Isles, which may explain the poor choice of backup singers. Totally unauthentic.They sing too fast, and poorly at that.El Guyabero and his tres are great, as always. But adding that noise in the background (it's not fitting to call the background music, as it detracts grom the real music played by Faustino) is criminal.Get "El Guayabero" (that's the cd's title) which is far more authentic. The version of Marieta on that recording is <i>the<i/> one to get.Avoid this horrible marketing driven hack.
