If you like authenticity, spontaneity, and Cuban music, you'll love this 2-CD all-star set. Noting the popularity of New York-based salsa musicians in the Seventies, Paris-based Ivory Coast producer Raoul Diomande, a great admirer of Afro-Cuban...  (Read full review at Amazon)

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...  (Read full review at Amazon)

The real deal

Once you hear this music, you will understand why many modern music historians will tell 'there's "el son", then there's everything else.'

It's unfortunate that most people think of Salsa as 'the' Cuban music. Salsa it's just a simplified, pop...  (Read full review at Amazon)

Los Heroes Full Description
Los Heroes Call it the original Buena Vista Social Club. Back in 1979 a crew of Cuba's best musicians got together in Egrem Studios in Havana and recorded epic sessions that were later issued on Egrem's Areito label. Brought together by African musical impresario Raoul Diomandé, and under the direction of trombonist Juan Pablo Torres, these 30 "stars" poured their hearts into a series of long, energetic tracks (running 7 to 15 minutes apiece) that burn up the aluminum on the two CDs they are now housed on. Many names leap out of the roster: Paquito D'Rivera, Rubén González, Israel Perez, Pio Leyva, and Arturo Sandoval just for a start. They are small parts in a group that spanned three generations from across the island, and they fused the violin-based tipicas with the tres and horns of the jazzier conjuntos to create a sound that shook the city and spread out to the world. Torres's inventive arrangements and his willingness to allow for a lot of improvisation within that framework mark this as an exciting adventure. --Louis Gibson
