    Music:

    Distinto is old school at it's best

    By dimitri  Mar 2, 2006

    Pros: Arrangements, tunes like tumba palo cucu ye, great old school tunes being performed by some of the best that Cuba has to offer.

    Cons: Not a catchy salsa mix

    These guys really swing. In my opinion, the earlier album Afro-Cuban Alstars is a stronger product as a whole, but this one has beautiful tunes and all are arranged with style and deep sound. There is nothing "tinny" or pre-fab in the sound..., in contrast to some of the Puerto Rican artists, who seem to make their music with a sound machine. Vocals are great with all legendary people. This is Buena Vista Social Club before they became Buena Vista. So it's buena suerte for us! Enjoy. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Distinto Diferente

  • All Music Guide

    Introduced into a completely different climate for Latin music as compared to their 1997 debut, Distinto Diferente undoubtedly benefits from the increased commercial and artistic attention given to Afro-Cuban music in the wake of the Buena Vista Social Club (which includes many of the same members). Leader Juan de Marcos González gave Distinto Diferente a similar angle to Buena Vista, but concentrates more on the hot dance music Cuba's been known for since its 1930s and '40s boom for American vacationers. The two best-known members of Buena Vista Social Club, Ibrahim Ferrer and Ruben Gonzalez, also appear here.
