Afro Cuban Allstars:
"En Vivo: Live in Japan"
NEW!! This DVD AND CD double disc is a wonderful new release, with all cylinders firing...about 20 of them. This is some of their
best work to date, and certainly the most energetic, playing tunes by Company Segundo, Pello el Afrokan, Chico O'Farrill,
and of course leader Juan de Marcos among others. Check out this "Chan Chan" for a peek.
Recommended.

Roots of Rhythm:
Hosted by Harry Belafonte"
This DVD hosted by Harry Belafonte has just been re-issued. This 3-hour DVD features performances
by Tito Puente, Gloria Estefan, Celia Cruz, Dizzy Gillespie, Ruben Blades and many more. It has a ton of
footage from Cuba in the late 80's and some much earlier archived work. Lots of rumba, mambo, changui, and
salsa from the pioneers who created those styles. Because it explores the trans-atlantic dialogue and links
between Africa and Cuba, well, we had to give it two thumbs up!! Recommended.
