Cuba: I Am Time

Both the actual package (a look-a-like cigar case) and the collection of songs, are pretty impressive. The set touches on virtually every sound there, give or take; and nice images on the cd slips that cover various old land layouts. Worth a get, especially if you can get it at a good price like I did. In fact, if you can get it at a nice price, jump on it! Got it as a gift for someone, and now I might order me a second. Much better than expected. I'll warn you, I'm not an expert on the music there, just so you know; but I thought it was really well put together in every way; style, music, images, and background info if you get the insert booklet (some vendors may inform you they don't have them). Either way, a great purchase! It makes you feel it in you, like you're there years ago.

Received as advertised, in new and excellent condition. Arrived a few days before the "scheduled" date. Thank you!

IF you can get this CD set, it will bring the island of Cuba to you. It's gallery of songs are amazing.

This is truly an eclectic collection of the diversity that makes not only the Cuban music, but its people.Of course, it does not include the classical compositions of Ernesto Lecuona (I recommend Lecuona plays Lecuona,) amongst other Cuban musicians of different genres.It does justice with respect to the music of the early 20th century, to the latter years of musicans under Castro's BIG eye.

Great Music! Nice box! Booklet is very informative!A friend of mine teaches at Royal College of Music. She will use it to prepare her lesson on the History of Afro Cuban Music.Great Product! Lot of fun!
