Prosthetic Cubans


First recorded on Marc Ribot y los Cubanos Postizos, their first album, this take on "Choserito Plena" is lively and rock influenced, which shows Ribot's other strength while accompanied by talented Latin percussion. While not on the same level as Sabu and Arsenio Rodriguez's take on the same tune, which also features vocals, Ribot's take on this classic is worthwhile for doing something different and not losing itself in that elusive quest for authenticity, as the band's humorous name suggests.
