Entertainment Reviews:

Q - 3/96, p.91
3 Stars - Good - "...this is a new band playing the music as well as it has ever been played..."
Down Beat - 3/96, p.57
4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - "...instrumental Cuban dance music....Alemany...has a fat, greasy tone and a stratospheric high register, while Alfredo Rodriguez has a crunching, percussive command of the piano, both showing little jazz influence. The band...smokes like a fine cigar..."
Option - 5-6/96, p.91
"...very close to a dream team of Cuban musicians....After listening...you'll understand why this island attracted so many foreigners before Castro came into power..."
New York Times (Publisher) - 4/14/96, Sec.2, p.30
"...[CUBANISMO] simmers with the excitement of a party....A recording studio is on occasion blessed by being a witness to a session that equals in intensity music performed in a club. This recording documents one of those times."
