CUBAN BAND official website - myspace page
"Rumba Para Viena" by the orchestra Clave Sonera includes seven original compositions and two tradicional Cuban themes arranged by the German born pianist, composer, arranger, and producer Günther Brück. The music does not only invite you to dance but it also shows a mix of modern salsa -respecting the roots of this music - with other musical styles like jazz, funk, and pop. You will find four Grammy Award winning musicians and one Grammy nominated musician on this recording. The solid rhythm section of congas, timbales, bongos, piano, and bass lies down the foundation for heavy swinging horn lines and mambos by the two trumpets, two trombones and baritone saxophone alternating with the vocalist's soneros.
