This is a recording by one of the most adventurous, interesting, and -- more simply -- best bands extant. The story is told by the instrumentation, which includes one trumpet, baritone sax, flute, clarinet, batá drums, and cuatro. Which translates into a sound drawing from a very wide range of traditions, mixing charanga and conjunto and the rest in a more varied way than the standard orquesta sound.
