Review

Founded in 1977, the well-traveled Sierra Maestra celebrate 25 years together with the release of Rumbero Soy. The ensemble's classic instrumentation of tres, guiro, clave, guitar, bongo, trumpet, maracas, and vocal chorus comes in loud and clear. Produced by Anglo guitarist Chris Birkett, the group performs with special Cuban and American guests. Jazz guitar whiz Marc Ribot lends his twangy, spacey licks to the peppery title track and "Sevilla de Cana Brava." Buena Vista Social Club superstars Ibrahim Ferrer and Omara Portuondo lend their vibrant voices to four songs, including the picturesque "Sabina Gomez" and the romantic "Convergencia." The group's spirited lead vocalists Alberto Virgilio Valdes and José Antonio "Maceo" Rodriguez keep the rumba and son montuno grooves flowing on the other tracks. There's no doubt that this group will be in top form for the next quarter century. --Eugene Holley Jr.Rumbero Soy is the electrifying new album from Sierra Maestra that pushes back the boundaries of traditional son, in an unbridled celebration of their twenty-five years of success. Recorded in Bordeaux and Havana with new younger members fresh from the Cuban talent factory, the legendary soneros present groundbreaking tracks featuring an innovative sound, new songs and very special guests Ibrahim Ferrer, Omara Portuondo and Marc Ribot.
