| The Cape Verde music reflects the charachter
of the Afro\Atlantic ambience.Cape Verdeans have always known
how to search for and maintain a belief in "hope".The
music has always succeeded in creating a world with no frontiers
in which mankind can win back his autonomy and his "faith" The "sodade"of musicians is not only based on the past:It can also feed on the violence of the future since Mornas and Coladeras while accepting the weight of tradition is open to evolution.True roots music to transport the listeners soul |

| Koçani Orkestar | |||
| The leader, Naat Veliov, was born in 1957 into a family of trumpet players, in the Turkish-speaking Roman mahalle of Koçani. His father and his grandfather were "truba" (trumpet) players, as is Naat's son, Orhan. Although his grandfather was too old to perform by the time Naat was born, he taught Naat a great deal about nefesli orkestar repertoire, and pointed out to him which music to play for which ethnic community. Naat describes how the members of his father's band were relatives and neighbors. To this day, Naat has continued the tradition of keeping the ensemble among close relatives and neighbors. | Gypsy Mambo | CD 1999 | #305632 |

Maravilla de Florida MARAVILLA DE FLORIDA Smooth, tight and engaging, Maravilla de Florida is another reference as far as charangas go. Founded in 1948 in Camagüey, an agricultural province renowned for its landscapes, the group became famous in Cuba with such hits as 'El agua coge su nivel'. One of the first charangas, after Los Van Van, to adopt the songo - a rhythm invented in the 1970s by percussionist "Changuito" (josé Luis Quintana) -, Maravilla de Florida also has an irresistible swing, and its sophisticated and elaborate arrangements testify to the creativity of today's Cuban music. An absolute must. |

Aliemen The Orquesta Aliamén, set up in 1964 by Miguel Pinto Campa in the historical city of Santa Clara, is considered in Cuba one of the most innovative and ebullient of today's charangas. Originally specialized in the danzón - a musical genre born at the end of the 19th century -, charangas generally include a flute and violins, instruments which long gave them a European, somewhat old-fashioned charm. It is, however, towards the future that Orquesta Aliamén chooses to turn, injecting new blood into the traditional genres of Cuban music with biting riffs, unexpected breaks and sizzling rhythms. Impossible not to dance ! |

Son del Cauto The son, a rhythm born in Spain around the16th century but which surfaced in a creolized version in the Oriente province at the end of the 19th century, is the backbone of salsa. Organized some fifteen years ago, Son del Cauto has kept, with its original songs, sometimes romantic and sometimes humorous, all the rural flavor of the Oriente son. Among other instruments the band uses a tres (a kind of guitar also born in the countryside of Oriente) and - relatively rare in popular music - a laúd, a lute of Arabo-Andalusian origin. A small, well-crafted jewel from the very heart of Cuba. |

Chepin Choven Formed in Santiago de Cuba in 1945 by violonist Electo Rosell (Chepín) and pianist Bernardo García Chovén, the Orquesta Chepín-Chovén was, with that of Mariano Mercerón, the most famous big band from Oriente, the easternmost province of Cuba. With its jazzy arrangements and outstanding singers, Chepín-Chovén performed throughout the country, appearing on numerous radio and television shows, and developed a big following in North and Latin America. Directed by José Ramón Hernández since Chepín's death, in 1984, this outfit has remained, while evolving musically, one of the most stimulating big bands in Cuba. |
