Industry Reviews
4.5 Stars - Very Good/Excellent - ...instrumental Cuban dance music....Alemany...has a fat, greasy tone and a stratospheric high register, while Alfredo Rodriguez has a crunching, percussive command of the piano, both showing little jazz influence. The band...smokes like a fine cigar...
Down Beat (03/01/1996)
...[CUBANISMO] simmers with the excitement of a party....A recording studio is on occasion blessed by being a witness to a session that equals in intensity music performed in a club. This recording documents one of those times.
New York Times (04/14/1996)
3 Stars - Good - ...this is a new band playing the music as well as it has ever been played...
Q (03/01/1996)
...very close to a dream team of Cuban musicians....After listening...you'll understand why this island attracted so many foreigners before Castro came into power...
