This review is biased; written on the day Compay Segundo's obituary is front-page news. Not bad for someone who spent more than 85 years in such relative obscurity. What clinches this as the great album is Compay's version of "Guantanamera". This Cuban classic of early revolution can be pedestrian (any Filipino band in a Far East Hotel), prissy (sorry Armanda and the kids) or sanctimonious (well, Pete Seeger obviously). With Compay it is just the most fun and typically with Compay remains subversive . Someone who lived, and lusted, that long should have taken better care of himself. Hasta luego.

4.Calle Salud by: Compay Segundo August 09, 1999

Compay Segundo recorded several albums on the back on the Buena Vista Social Club, with the help of a few younger friends in the Cuban music industry. Some real classics, astonishingly well performed, and thoroughly enjoyable. Compay would have done better, though, to have stuck to singing backing vocals, as his voice definitely shows his age when he sings solo. An earthy, mature sound, with all the qualities of the original Buena Vista CD, Calle Salud is the sound of the real old Havana, full of syncopated rhythms, astonishingly intricate harmonies and giving off a sense of pure happiness, enthusiasm and enjoyment in the performance.

6.Lo Mejor de la Vida by: Compay Segundo

This man plays the guitar so effortlessly, you'd think he's done it before. This album really lets the old boy loose with his primative, twiddly folk. His band are smooth and down to earth, leaving his unlikely, wavering harmony singing and eratic 7-string jangling to amuse you all the more.
