Santiago De Cuba - La Reina Del Son
 | Label: Frémeaux Catalog: FA 5389 Format: CD Composed by: Various Artists Four years before the musical adventure that led Ry Cooder in Havana to record the legendary “Buena Vista Social Clubâ€, François Jouffa had recorded the most important singers and musicians of Santiago de Cuba, the country’s second city and the capital of son. The blending of African, European and American, but also Haitian, influences have made Santiago de Cuba’s music the embodiment of Cubanness, the best of which is here handed down to posterity thanks to François Jouffa.
