Description:
Rumbero Soy is the electrifying new album from Sierra Maestra that pushes back the boundaries of traditional son in a 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. Rumbero Soy pulsates with energy and never loses pace. It is impossible to stay still and listen - first your foot taps then your shoulders shimmy and before you know it your hips are gyrating to the infectious beat. The album marks twenty five years of Sierra Maestra s successful career and blasts into the future with a new set of songs and an innovative sound. They were the first group (and remain the best) of the modern era to play in the old style son line up: tres, guitar, trumpet, bongo, guïro, maracas and 4 part harmony vocals. They have been the pioneers in reviving this style for a new generation and reintroducing it into the Cuban mainstream.
