Just relax make a drink, light a cigar or perhaps lie next to your girlfriend and make love. That is the simplicity of Cuban music. A very good album wich always reminds me of summer and exotic adventures. A must have collection of songs of Afro-cuban origin performed by world-class cuban musicians.
