Cardona,Milton Bembe CD

This exquisite recording finds one of the most gifted percussionists in Latin music today working in what is perhaps his true element - the Santeria liturgy. The spiritual power of this Afro-Caribbean religious ceremony, sung in Yoruba to the accompaniment of a three-man percussion bata is awesome, but it is the intense articulation of rhythm that makes this music so devastating, incredible. -JD Considine, Musician Magazine "A wonderful album - absorbing, mesmerizing, beautiful and fun, graceful and sensual. It draws ou into a space and reality all it's own, with a mood and flow quite distant from the everyday and yet hauntingly familiar. I found myself playing it over and over..." - City Paper (Washington DC) "Is a stone soul picnic, so party down. If you're going to buy one record this summer, here is one that, in the words of Hebrew National, answers to a higher authority." - Glenn O'Brien, Interview
