Emigrante(more) »rank: 75452by: Orishas
: :Next to the Buena Vista Social Club, France-based Cuban rappers Ruzzo, Yotuel, Flaco-Pro, and Roldan--a.k.a. the Orishas--were quite recently the hottest musical export from that forbidden island to hit these shores in years. Now, riding on the heels of their international debut A lo Cubano, Emigrant continues the group's soulful syncretism of African-American rap and Afro-Cuban percussion and musical genres. The combo, which is now a trio, adds its patented conga-coded syncopations to the bling-bling hip-hop beats, especially on the synth-trenched 'Que Pasa?' (What's Happenin'?) the horn-driven 'Ninos' (Children), and 'Habana' (Havana). Make no mistake, this CD can bounce alongside any tracks performed ... |

A Lo Cubano(more) »rank: 49039by: Orishas
: :While North American rap drowns in its own clichés, international artists are invigorating the genre with their own musical traditions. The Orishas, a Cuban group based in France, use Afro-Cuban religion to summon the spirit of hip-hop. Named for gods of Santeria, they came together in 1998 when members Yotuel and Ruzzo hooked up with Roldan and Flaco-Pro (a veteran of Sergeant Garcia) through a cultural exchange program between French and Cuban rappers. Collaborating with French hip-hop producer Miko Niko, they bring the attitude of Havana streets to the rest of the world, appealing to the Buena Vista Social Club crowd as well ... |

El Kilo(more) »rank: 116223by: Orishas
: :Since its 1999 breakthrough, the Cuban rap trio Orishas has been hailed as one of Latin hip-hop's true saviors. But the group's intoxicating third album, El Kilo, is about more than DJ scratches and looped samples. In fact, that's not at all what it's about. The group eschews studio tricks for live instrumentation on El Kilo, and it makes for a heady, well-rounded effort. El Kilo crackles with passion and urgency from beginning to end, and the album transforms Orishas into a wholly unclassifiable, strikingly original music machine. Blaring horns highlight album opener 'Naci Orishas,' and the pensive title track rides a simmering, ... |

ORISHAS - Musica para Danzar(more) »rank: 148504by: Orishas
: :Recorded in Santiago de Cuba in 2006, features the most outstanding members of the internationally renowned Ballet Folklorico Cutumba, one of Cuba s most vibrant folkloric dance troupes. Berta Arminan's intoxicating renditions of Yemaya have entertained live audiences around the world & her magnificent essence is finally captured in this recording. Cantante Ernesto Arminan, choreographer of Cutumba & artistic director of the Tropicana Santiago, pays homage to his santa Ochun, in this soul-stirring, original interpretation. Rafael Cisnero s voice is unmistakable as he sings, spontaneously & straight from the heart, to Eleggua & Chango. The percussionists are truly virtuosos. Ramon Marquez, Cutumba's ... |
