Item Description

This is a wonderful album by local Cuban musician, Jose Conde and his band Ola Fresca.

Review by Vinlimania:

A really unique, new and explosive project is the latest CD from Jose Conde and Ola Fresca – Revolution. A fusion and a mix of sounds that is capable of enrapturing in pure fascination the listener from the beginning to the end.
Jose Conde, born in Chicago but from Cuban origins, together with his New York band “Ola Fresca” and under the musical direction of the great Gonzalo Grau, has, in my humble opinion, given back the varnish and a new light to the old sounds we have come to expect from recent Cuban music creations, with an appreciated originality, a true style that cannot be confused.
The 10 tracks and the 3 bonus tracks manage to pay back even the more experienced listener. It will also attract the more attentive DJ in respect to the quality of the music they search for. It should be noted also that it includes a lot of tracks that are also ideal for the dance floor.
We would like to also point out the participation of the trombones as played by Generoso Jimenez and Jimmy Bosch (with resounding performances in “Descarga Inez” which happens to be one of my personal favourites) and that of Benjamin Lapidus in a very interesting re-arrangement of “Summertime” by George Gershwin.
If you love Latin music, this is a CD that should be added to your collection without delay.
