Son

A few years back I stumbled across an album in the Latin bin of a used record store and it instantly became one of my favorites for dancing. I doubt a lot of a people have heard of Celina Gonzalez.... Of course neither had I at the time and I had no idea exactly who or what I was listening to - but I was immediately transfixed.

Known as the Queen of Punto Cubano or Queen of Country in her native Cuba, Celina's fantastic voice and great arrangements from Frank Fernandez and the Adalberto Alverez orchestra seemlessly blend the old sounds of guajira & son with the new sound of their descendant salsa, jazz and even a little funk.
