Young Havana-based folklore group Vocal Baobab are known for their choral style take on traditional Afro-Cuban chants and rumba, interlacing rap and other contemporary flavours. Applauded by Cuban luminaries such as Lázaro Ros, Changuito, Compay Segundo and Mayito, they have made several successful appearances on the international stage. On ‘Yoruba Dream’ exciting poly-rhythms and strong vocal harmonies make for a powerful interpretation of a deeply felt tradition. Here is the true afro in afrocuban.
"The sheer might of percussions and voices, sometimes
joined by piano, sparse effects and rap-like intonations,
cut straight to the soul and spirit. These are raw, gorgeously
gripping sounds, highly reccommended for those wanting
to familiarize themselves with the roots of all Cuban and other
Latin music that's so popular now. "
