Details:
âLos Hipsters No Bailan: La Habana/Brooklyn Sessionsâ is the dynamic debut cd from Son de Brooklyn. This albumâs unique mix of musical flavors derives from its unusual pedigree: half of the tracks were recorded in New York City and half in Havana, Cuba. âLos Hipsters No Bailanâ is the sun-baked soundtrack for your unrealized daydreams to move to the islandsâ¦featuring danceable grooves, catchy choruses and killer musicianship all tightly wrapped into a cohiba of New York sophistication and authentic Caribbean sensuality. Son de Brooklyn is the antidote to slick and overproduced Latin music: If you love Marc Anthony and Ricky Martin, youâll probably hate this album.

âLos Hipsters No Bailanâ features some of New Yorkâs and Havanaâs finest young musicians, including Renato Thoms (percussion,vocals), Igor Arias (percussion, vocals), Eddie Venegas (violin, trombone), charanga master Alberto Corrales (flute), and Luis Mirabal (trumpet), the 18-year-old grandson of Cuban trumpet legend and Buena Vista Social Club member Guajiro Mirabal.

Album highlights include âRumba Descomplicadaâ, a thrilling guagancó about the pleasures of the simple life, âEn Ti Pensabaâ, a bolero whose lyrics borrow from the poetry of Cuban statesman Jose Marti, âGlen Echo Ballroomâ, an original danzón with jazz harmony, and âBach Invention No. 13/Glen Echo Ballroom Rehearsalâ which features a baroque classical selection played on the traditional Cuban stringed instrument, the tres.

âLos Hipsters No Bailanâ fondly recalls the days when Havana and New York freely exchanged their musical wealth. A rich rhythmic stew of son, rumba, danzón, mambo, bolero, and jazz Latino, Son de Brooklynâs first album is an exhilarating musical bridge between New York and Havana that will satisfy those who want to dance and inspire those trying to get the nerve.
