Review:
The luscious heat of Cuba's classic dance bands scorches on 'Dancing with the Enemy'. "Few compilations capture the luscious combination of splendor and sentimental excess of Afro-Cuban music as well as this... a perfect introduction to the absolute beauty of rhythm." -- New York Times Celeste Mendoza was born in Santiago de Cuba, where her childhood was spent in the rough-and-ready Barrio de los Hoyos. Moving to Havana at 18, she won a radio talent contest and joined the Tropicana Dance Company. Her song 'Papa Ogun' with rumberos Los Papines, is addressed to Ogun, the Yoruba god of iron and war. — CalabashMusic.com |
