about

The impact and influence of music of (Afro) Cuban origin has spread from Cuba to the far corners of the world. Its fingerprint can be found through salsa, jazz, funk, soul, hip hop and everything in between. Cuba has an incredibly rich culture of music and dance which is ingrained in its people from birth. With this release we celebrate two compositions by one of Cuba’s finest songwriters: Silvestre Méndez.

Here at Rocafort Records we are delighted to serve up two of Méndez’s biggest compositions at their finest. "Mi Bomba Sonó" featuring the emblematic Celia Cruz and her explosive vocals over La Sonora Matancera’s inimitable pulsating rhythms! On the flip side we have Joey Pastrana’s thundering rendition of ’A Bailar Oriza’, a funky reinterpretation of one of Méndez’s most covered compositions.

Disclaimer: We will not be held responsible for any turntables, dance floors or pants catching on fire! We hope you enjoy this little tribute to Silvestre Méndez as much as we have delighted in putting it together!

I have been several times in Belém and around in the delta of the Amazon & Tocantins rivers, went to carimbó little festivals in the middle of Marajó Island, taking analog photos of these afro-delta traditions, between 2000-2010 ... this release is huge, I pay homage to Samy Ben Redjeb for suceeding such a project! I hope one day Analog goes for French Guyana, Martinique & Guadeloupe vintage sounds. These CARIMBÓ-SIRIA & candomblé songs are FANTASTIC ! Chat-verre

Fantastic album! A must have for PALOP collectors. Best song Abole, a fast pace Coladera song with a sentimental touch. Beautiful song to dance too on a hot summer night with friends. tuxa
