As other reviewers have put it, simply fantastic, energetic music!! It also corresponds well to the Buena Vista 2007 tour sound, which has gone more to the brassy band sound. Essential, 'nuff said?

This album sounds a bit different from the All Stars' debut. It's not its style, though: everything is still there, from the subtly understated percussion to the stabbing, polished horn section.
