I think the list makers often miss the mark with their world music picks. It seems like they choose albums that have managed to make their way to Western audiences. Because of this, I don't always feel like we are getting the most authentic sound from whatever country is being featured. More often than not, it's some sort of compromise that doesn't quite capture the authentic style of the region. Obviously, I am not an expert in the matter, but that's been my impression so far.
But this was a solid choice. Again, not an expert, but I really felt transported to another place with this music, which is no easy thing in 2020. I liked the arrangements and thought it remained interesting throughout.
A nice introduction to Cuban music.
RATING: 4/5
