This double CD contains 29 live Compay Segundo performances. The first CD contains a conversation with Compay about his childhood and what he feels about his music. This is the original Spanish.

The CD split into "club" concerts and "theatre" concerts. I prefer the "clubs" side because it's a bit livelier and less polished than the "theatres" side, where the addition of clarinets and backing vocalists gives a more orchestral sound. Lots of good tracks, including an interesting son version of Carlos Gardel's "El Dia Que Me Quieras" and a great cover of "Malagueña". The cover of "Guantanamera" that closes the 2nd CD is a bit iffy (IMHO) but one cannot fault the enthusiasm of the performance.

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.
