It comes courtesy of one of Cuba's most influential acts, Grupo Irakere. Founded in 1973 by Chucho Valdés (son of the Cuban pianist and bandleader Bebo Valdés) the group was home to many of Cuba's finest musicians over the years. With an electrifying style and sound, they mixed traditional Cuban music with jazz, funk, and rock.\r\n\r\nThis self-titled album includes the much-loved, dancefloor heavy-hitter 'Chequeré-Son', a Latin-jazz funk masterpiece with Cubanized bebop-flavoured horn lines, lush keys, and '70s hip swagger. Though 'Chequeré-Son' is the keystone of the record, the album is laced with brilliance at every turn, from the Carlos Santana-esque 'Iya' with it's percussive Latin power, to the sultry, slick and passionate '38 1\/2'. Pressed on Cuba's state led Areito Records, this cherished Afro-Cuban album has been crying out for a reissue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChequeré-Son\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e 38 1\/2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e En Nosotros\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Juana 1600\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Moja El Pan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Este Camino Largo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Xiomara\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Iya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50521913884946,"sku":"7119691292823","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/grupo-irakere-grupo-irakere-cd","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
