"We will no doubt hear more about Cuban music as politicians work out the details of improved U.S.-Cuban relations. Don't be surprised if some of the news coverage is superficial, ignoring the two countries' long musical history together. You'd do well to start your listening with Cuba: The Conversation Continues and its lesson on how a respectful collaboration can defy politics and dictators."
- Felix Contreras, NPR
"An imaginative brew of arty and party music."
- John Fordham, The Guardian
The timing of this record from Arturo O'Farrill and his Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra could not have been better, with the group beginning preparation for recording just as President Obama announced plans to normalize diplomatic relations with Cuba. As such O'Farrill assembled a binational cast of composers to contribute to his beautiful project celebrating the longstanding musical relationship between the island nation and the United States that has oft-transcended their histories of political tensions.
