Highlights of the show:

A long-time favourite of Latin Soul, Marc Ribot got to be a remarkable moment among the songs heard tonight in Latin Soul. Here you may read a review on his album “Y Los Cubanos Postizos (The Prosthetic Cubans)” by Andrew Barlett from Amazon.com's Best of 1998.





Inventive guitarist Marc Ribot and his new combo perform songs associated with legendary Cuban composer and big band leader Arsenio Rodríguez. You'd hardly expect New York guitarist Marc Ribot--who's played with lots of ironists and cynics--to do such a spectacular, hearty job of paying homage to Cuban bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez. This CD, though, reaches far and wide, to both straightahead Cuban jazz fans and lovers of more visceral, gritty music. Ribot plays scouring guitar, getting great organ cushions from John Medeski and Roy Coleman. But it's E.J. Rodríguez's deep, traditional Cuban percussion that fattens this CD for its Best of 1998 status. --Andrew Bartlett
