Seeking to dig deeper into the roots of the international smash Buena Vista Social Club album and film? Here is Eliades Ochoa's second CD on Corason, launched at the moment when world music connoisseurs are lapping up the Cuban son -- the acoustic roots of salsa, and where salsa comes from. Amongst his fellow musicians in Santiago, (the "New Orleans of Cuba"), Eliades Ochoa, leader of Cuarteto Patria, is recognized as the greatest of his generation; he's traveled more extensively (23 international tours to date), made more recordings and won more awards than any other Cuban musician. When people speak of Cuban son they inevitably speak of Eliades Ochoa and Cuarteto Patria.What makes Ochoa stand out in a such exceptional company? In part it's his voice, emotional without ever being melodramatic or forced. Eliades is also a truly great guitarist and his creative genius on the guitar (despite being entirely self taught) is expressed in the descarga section of every son when he improvises above the bongos, second guitar and bass -- breathtaking!For anyone who's caught the Latin dance fever, which has exploded in nightclubs and on countless records by such artists as Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri and many others, the discovery of the music of Eliades Ochoa will be welcomed -- by young U.S. Latinos, who are reviving a style which they identify as their own, and by world music fans, who love the son's mellow, laid-back sound.
