Sierra Maestra began reviving classic Cuban son decades before the Buena Vista Social Club brought this venerable style, a musical rage in the 1920s, back to the consciousness of American audiences. Living legends of Cuban music, the members of Sierra Maestra create a seamless connection between the golden age of Cuban music and today s eclectic Cuban scene. Sonando Ya, their new album for World Village, presents works by the new generation of Cuban songwriters. With their classic son line-up of tres, trumpet, bass and percussion, the band s songs are as varied as ever, blending in colorful flavors such as Afro- Cuban jazz to spice up the mix.
