Afro-Latin Music Party CD
Eco Friendly Books & Puzzles
From African salsa to Cuban son, Afro-Latin Party is a non-stop celebration of the Latin sounds heard in nightclubs from Dakar to Havana.Croatian salsa, Cuban ska, and Oregonian mambo!?!? These are three of the unlikely gems listeners will find on Afro-Latin Party. What started out as an effort to provide the perfect soundtrack to a Latin dance party became a tribute to the global appreciation and realization of the musical ricochet between Cuba and Africa.Central to the Afro-Latin phenomenon is Africando, who provide three songs on Afro-Latin Party, each with a different African lead singer. In the 1960s and 1970s, the biggest names in African music-including such heavyweights as Youssou N'Dour and Salif Keita-were performing Latin music, thanks to vinyl that came over from abroad. Cultural exchange between Cuba and the socialist governments in Mali and other parts of West Africa was a regular phenomenon. Performers like the Fania All Stars and Celia Cruz toured Africa and became musical icons.In 1992, legendary Africando founders Ibrahim Sylla and Boncana Maga traveled to New York to record with top local salsa musicians, many who were taken by surprise by these Africans performing their phonetically learned Spanish lyrics. Interestingly, many of the band members on the three Africando tracks here, also play on other tracks on Afro-Latin Party.'I once asked [Putumayo founder] Dan Storper, 'If you could sign any band in the world ever, who would you sign?' says album producer and VP of A&R Jacob Edgar. 'He said Bob Marley and thought for a moment, and then said Africando.' The band, which uses a revolving roster of African singers, 'takes these two separate worlds, and adds something to the style, in the way they sing and the way they arrange, that is so magical. It is almost better than the sum of these two powerful musical elements,' adds Edgar.A portion of the proceeds from the sales of this CD will be donated to Oxfam America, an international development organization that works in partnership with impoverished communities worldwide to create lasting solutions to poverty, hunger, and social injustice.ArtistSong SampleAfricando featuring Amadou BalakeBeteceJose Mangual Jr.Ritmo Con AchePepe & The Bottle BlondesCuentame Que Te PasoSka CubanoBabaluAfricand o featuring Medoune DialloMandaliCubismo MorenitaAfrica ndo featuring Nicholas MenheimDemalChico AlvarezCogele el GustoRonald Rubinel's Salsa KolorLa Grev' Bare MwenRicardo Lemvo & Makina LocaSamba Luku Samba
