AMG Review of Superdanzones

All Music Guide

Superdanzones is an easy-listening, steady mid-tempo session by Cachao and His Tipica Gigante recorded in August, 1961. Most of these ten compositions are led by a flutist (all penned by Cachao, except for "Maximo Gomez" which was written by Pedro Hernández), feature brief, if any, chorus vocals, and are complemented greatly by the string section. Unfortunately, the personnel is not given in these Spanish-only liner notes, but the sound quality is clean on this reissue.
