The 15-piece Cuban institution led by bassist
Juan Formell recorded this album of new material direct to DAT live, although it's hard to tell if it was an actual gig, or a no-second-chance-with-overdubs affair, in the Salon Rosado de La Tropical studio before a select audience. It does mark the debut of Samuel Formell on drums, replacing the veteran
Jose L. Quintana, and it's an eminently solid outing that won't disappoint fans.
