  José Conde y Ola Fresca
Ay! Que Rico (Pikiki
Records, 2004)
Cuban American composer and multi-instrumentalists José Conde explores the
rich legacy of Cuban music on Ay! Que Rico. He prefers the rootsier
sounds of tropical music, including son, changüí, mambo, cha cha chá, and
guaracha. As a modern Miamian, Conde also uses the latest techniques in dance
music. He utilizes loops and remixes, as well as jazz phrasings.
José Conde's multinational band, Ola Fresca, features brilliant musicians
from Cuba, the US, Curaçao and Israel.
This a refreshing album by one of the the finest artists in the US Tropical
Latin music scene. Highly recommended.
