Description:
"El Yuma" is Cuban slang for the United States. For Mamborama's second album, Grammy nominated producer/songwriter Bill Wolfer traveled between "El Yuma" and Havana, Cuba to record with three different configurations of all star Cuban musicians. Wolfer co wrote two songs with legendary singer, Sixto "El Indio" Terry, the powerful voice of Manolito Y Su Trabuco. El Indio sings three songs on the album, backed by Wolfer's piano, and his compadres from Trabuco's power house rhythm section. Manolito Simonet contributes a blazing piano solo to the Charanga flavored descarga "Esperando La Luz," along with Trabuco flautista David Bencomo. Also features ex Van Van pianist CĒsar "Pupy" Pedroso and jazz trumpeter Julio Padr¢n. |
