Legendary Cuban son group - 78 years of history, Grammy nomination 2004

The third generation of the Septeto National can certainly stand up to comparison with the legendary band`s original line-up.
All the musicians are excellent instrumentalists and inspired soneros, who play the fresh-sounding arrangements, as if a time machine had catapulted the original Septeto from the beginning of the twentieth century to the beginning of twientieth first century. It is always a risk to do new recordings of more than seventy-year-old classics, which even the children in Cuba know, true to the original and yet filtered through time.
There is nothing at all outmoded about sones like "No juegues con los Santos" or Pińeiro`s hypnotic "Coco mai mai", which have been kept close to the original.

And this is due, apart from the clever arrangements and the top-notch musicians, above all to the smoky voice of the lead singer, Raspa.
