Que no se muere el tambó! – words of wisdom spoken by the elders over the centuries – advice for the ages with special significance as we grapple with so-called technological advances and the loss of the meaning of the word spiritual. The precious rhythmic gifts of rumba, mambo, son, danzón, bembé, bomba, mozambique, batá, and palo are the foundation of the compositions presented here. They are gifts born of struggle, designed to heal through movement of body and thought, determined to instill hope and document our journey in our own voices. – CDBaby.com
