Story behind the songs.
1.Moliendo Cafe.
Here is one old international classic gone electric, with a cuban timba flavor.
2.Sabor A Mi.
Another very popular iternational classic with a Bolero
cha cha sound. Cool piano riffs at the end dig it.
3.Yayabo.
A Cuban favorite oldie, recorded by the orchestra Riverside
in the 1950s updated with a powerfull arrangedment.
Hot lead guitar solo by Manny Gonzalez, and thundering
drums and percussion by Oscar Salas,icredible but true horns by Rusty Smith.
4.Mi Amor Fugaz.
A Bolero written in the 1950s by perhaps the most famous Cuban and incomparable singer and band leader of all time.
Mr.Beny More,recorded here by Bert in a more modern style
with a small group format and a rockish injection.
5.Son De La Loma.
El Trio Los Matamoros staple song, a Son Montuno with electric guitars, another classic for the new millenium.
6.Quemando el Sol.
This song was originally composed by Bert in english, and while recording in the studio at Rock House Records in
Greensboro,NC;was asked by Roy Roberts owner and president of the label,Hey man why dont you do this thing in
spanish, so Bert turned the switch from english to spanish with the headphones still on and came up with the lyrics
right on the spot,so the vocal track was done on one take,
amazing.
All the songs except Quemando El Sol were recorded in Miami
Fl,they were recorded on one take with Bert Lopez playing
the frettless Gibson Ripper Bass and singing the lead vocal,
Manny Gonzalez rhythn guitar and Oscar Salas on drums,so that was basically done live in the studio,then the percussion and lead guitars were added, so was the second vocal track on Yayabo.The horns, strings and piano recorded at Rock House Records, Greensboro,NC.
