Matanzas, Cuba ca. 1957: Afro-Cuban Sacred Music features archived Cuban music from 1957. In particular, the music is highly percussive, a style of drumming intended to summon the gods. As you might expect, the music has a very spiritual feel, along with a certain degree of mania when you try and envision numerous Cuban percussionists in a religious daze drumming like mad. Best appreciated as an anthropological artifact. The extensive liner notes accentuate the historical essence of the music. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
