Mayajigua


Just beautiful. Nothing short of elegant, brassy Cuban love. Valdes was a master of Cuban piano and jazz, and on this mambo, one of my favorites of Cuban music, leading an amazing orquesta. I may have found my favorite Cuban artist! The brother was well-versed in US jazz, worked in Haiti for a minute, and mastered various genres, including Cuban contradanza/danzon, such as the classic "La Bella Cubana."
