Summary: Another great Cooder album
Comment: Lots of lush reverb and ringing chords, surfed-out tones and tropical vibes, lazy tribal riddims and colorful melodic pastiches.
Perfect for zoning out in a hammock on the beach, watching the sun set and the moon rise.
Drift away...

Summary: Mambo Sinuendo
Comment: Excellent album, , merging of cubano / latino sounds and rhythm combinations with early 60's guitar sound and electric amp effects. Best Ry Cooder album I've purchased.

Summary: Mambo Sinuendo - R Cooder
Comment: Very good - fans of Bueno Vista Social Club will not be disappointed. Sonically superior and rather mellow.

Summary: Unbearably Cool Guitar
Comment: I first heard "Drume Negrita" on my local NPR station (Oregon Public Broadcasting has a great night time lineup) about a year ago and nearly lost it when I heard all that fabulous twang, reverb and slow tremolo, played with such taste and restraint that I knew it must be a master at work. I was not surprised to find out that Ry Cooder was involved, but the CD is even more rewarding than I expected for there are two great masters at play here.
Ry Cooder has long demonstrated his nearly frightening ability to deeply assimilate remote cultural influences, never betraying the slightest condescension. He finds himself in the presence of Cuban master Manuel Galban whose sense of the obscure and beautiful is a match for his own; indeed, it is often hard to tell who is who, as the strings bend and chime as if with one mind.
If all that weren't enough, the superb accompaniment lifts Ry and Manuel ever higher with flawless and soulful Carribean rhythms. The syncopations - the accents - the perpetual motion - all lend a sense of absolute inevitability to these songs, as if they have always existed.
I can't stop listening to this one. 5 stars, one of Ry's best efforts!

Summary: my favorite Ry Cooder
Comment: while i have difficulty getting into some Ry Cooder albums, this one is starkly different. I consider this album to have some of the most important guitar works that i own, the compositions and his guitar tones are immaculate. This album and of course the Bueno Vista Social Club are the ones that do it for me.

Editorial Reviews:
|
If there's a certain instant familiarity to this collaborative celebration between U.S. guitar icon/musicologist Ry Cooder and Cuban fret legend Manuel Galbán, it's only testimony to how deeply the island nation's rich musical heritage permeated American pop music in the '50s, '60s, and beyond. Cooder and Galbán (a key compatriot in the American guitarist's Buena Vista Social Club project) invent a back-to-the-future sound--twin guitars fronting a Cuban rhythm section of two drum kits, congas, and bass--whose dreamy swing quotient is matched only by its sense of mirthful abandon. Thus tracks like "Dru Me Negrita" and "Los Twangueros" manage to evoke everything from Link Wray, Duane Eddy, and the Ventures to Mancini and Esquivel, while Cooder and Galbán twirl a standard like "Patricia" and the nervy title track around dueling poles of tradition and experimentation with deceptive grace. It's joyous, mercurial stuff that the two musicians conjure at their fingertips. --Jerry McCulley
