"Few compilations capture the luscious combination of splendor and sentimental excess of Afro-Cuban music as well as this... a perfect introduction to the absolute beauty of rhythm." -- New York Times Celeste Mendoza, (at right in photo) was born in Santiago de Cuba, where her childhood was spent in the rough-and-ready Barrio de los Hoyos. Moving to Havana at 18, she won a radio talent contest and joined the Tropicana Dance Company. Her song 'Papa Ogun' with rumberos Los Papines, is addressed to Ogun, the Yoruba god of iron and war.Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:04:45 -0600http://cubaclassics.linktvstore.org/#album_17996<img src='http://files.linktvstore.org/images/18030/diablo_al_infierno.jpg'>This album is all about discoveries and will make you reconsider your impression and thoughts of Cuba and Cuban music.Thu, 08 Jan 2009 05:04:45 -0600http://cubaclassics.linktvstore.org/#album_18030
