Sierra Maestra - Mi Musica Es Tu Musica

Review by Marko Metzinger

Sierra Maestra's latest album, "Mi Musica Es Tu Musica," is a captivating collection of traditional Cuban son and salsa tunes that will transport listeners to the streets of Havana. The band, which has been performing for over 40 years, showcases their expertise in both instrumentation and vocals throughout the album.

The opening track, "La Maquinaria," sets the tone with its lively percussion and catchy chorus. The album continues with classic son tracks such as "A Santa Barbara" and "Mambo Inn," which feature intricate guitar and trumpet solos that will have listeners dancing along.

One of the standout tracks is "La Rosa Oriental," which features guest vocalist Mayito Rivera. Rivera's powerful voice adds an extra layer of emotion to the already soulful track. The album also includes a tribute to the late Cuban musician Arsenio Rodriguez with the track "Ya Llego La Hora."
