4.5
This CD is worth 5 stars because it has several outstanding tracks (Deja la Ira, Disco Azúcar, for example) and the ones that are less so provide a glimpse of the evolutions their arrangements go through. For example, La Bomba Soy Yo, in this CD does not compare to the version in the album Llegó....Van Van, which was playing everywhere in Cuba in January, 2001, when I happened to visit, and I assume is a subsequent version. To see an almost mediocre version evolve into an outstanding track is informative and provides a rare glimpse into the creative processes of this magnificent set of musicians.
