Album history
Producer Ry Cooder re-introduces the pianist, organist, and guitarist Manuel Galbán. In the 1950s, he pioneered a tough, rocking guitar style full of reverb and bent notes that is considered by Cuban musicians to be unique in their music. More than the American pop-jazz of the time, this collaboration hearkens back to the futuristic creations of modern Cuban composers of the period. About the recording of this album says Cooder: "Galbán and I felt that there was a sound that had not been explored in a Cuban electric-guitar band that could re-interpret the atmosphere of the 1950s with beauty, agility, and simplicity. We decided on two electrics, two drum sets, congas and bass: a sexteto that could swing like a big band and penetrate the mysteries of the classic tunes. This music is powerful, lyrical, and funny; what more could you ask? Mambo Sinuendo is Cuban soul and high-performance.". For the recording the producer enlisted the bassist for all the Buena Vista Social Club sessions, Orlando Cachaíto López. The percussionists include Jim Keltner, Cooder's son, Joachim Cooder and the conga master Miguel Angá Díaz.
