Used Price: £3.76

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.

Fairly good liner notes and ... Read More:

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.
