His songs have changed the face of Salsa in Latin America as well as of Son in Cuba. Alvarez formed this band in 1984 after his huge success with the group Son 14, who were pioneers of modernising son using traditional instruments with electronic keyboards, timbales and brass. These songs, full of dance energy, are the work of one of the great figures in the last 40 years of Cuba’s illustrious musical history. This album of non-stop quality Cuban Casino dance music is a treasure for any lover of Cuban popular music or keen dancer.Ĭonsisting of the best dance tunes by the internationally renowned Adalberto Álvarez y Su son, the 14 tracks come from his last six albums and include such dance classics as ‘Mi Linda Habanera’ which joyfully quotes from a host of iconic Cuban songs, the beautifully arranged ‘Gozando en La Habana’ and the 2018 masterpiece, ‘Los Buenos y Los Malos,’ all showing that Adalberto’s music, whilst complex and contemporary, is like the casino dance itself, steeped in tradition and respect for the styles of the past.
