Band: Buena Vista Social Club
Album: Buena Vista Social Club
Why Rolling Stone gets it right: On pure quality of the album, this album is up there. A wonderful Cuban music record, Ry Cooder and a group of 70+-year-old Cuban musicians holed themselves up in Havana and played all these songs. Again, I can't claim to know what this is about, I just love it.
Why Rolling Stone gets it wrong: Wow, I can't even begin to claim to have knowledge about Cuban music.
Best song: "El Carretero" is so amazing.
Worst song: I didn't like "Murmullo" as much as the other tracks.
Is it awesome?: Yes. Absolutely. Yes. Go buy this. Now.
I plead ignorance. I can only direct you to our good friend Wikipedia:
In 1996, American guitarist Ry Cooder had been invited to Havana by British world music producer Nick Gold of World Circuit Records to record a session where two African High-life musicians from Mali were to collaborate with Cuban musicians. On Cooder's arrival (via Mexico to avoid the ongoing U.S. trade and travel embargo against Cuba), it transpired that the musicians from Africa had not received their visas and were unable to travel to Havana. Cooder and Gold changed their plans and decided to record an album of Cuban son music with local musicians.
To say that it's a great, mind-expanding (not in the drugs way) record is probably silly. I can't say that I know anything about Cuban music, but this album is wonderfully fun. It's the kind of record I think nearly anyone could dance to.
It kind of makes me wonder if this type of music is being made in Cuba right now. I have to think it is; This record came out in 1997 and the opening track was written in 1987. It's the kind of thing where maybe I'll end up listening to more Cuban music if I can find some.
So, hooray, Buena Vista Social Club.

The funny thing about Ry Cooder, is that he's the world's biggest dick. He doesn't have the world's biggest dick, that I know of, but he IS the world's biggest dick. Funny thing.
Maybe he has a giant dick. It wouldn't surprise me.
Everybody[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/retro+xxx+porno+videos.html]retro xxx porno videos[/url] heard rumours [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/vintage+french+porno.html]vintage french porno[/url] about women[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/xxx+tube+porno.html]xxx tube porno[/url] faking orgasms. Is that true? The majority of women have [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/vintage+young+porno.html]vintage young porno[/url] faked at least one orgasm, yet some fake almost all of them. Why do they do that? There[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+games.html]porno games[/url] are many reasons and the case is that there's [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/repair+men+sex+porno+tube.html]repair men sex porno tube[/url] no one to blame.
The most [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+hardcore+porno+pictures.html]free hardcore porno pictures[/url] common are two [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+hot+porno+clips.html]free hot porno clips[/url] reasons: they[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+wife+movies.html]porno wife movies[/url] don't want to make their partners feel bad [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+homemade+bdsm+porno.html]free homemade bdsm porno[/url] or they are tired and just want to end sex. Most females say that their partners ar[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+adult+porno+movies.html]free adult porno movies[/url] e not satisfied until the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/porno+men+gay+e+animal.html]porno men gay e animal[/url] girls feels orgasm, there's only one way to make them feel happy and stop the[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/xhamster+porno.html]xhamster porno[/url] exhausting procedure - fake.
Another [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+teen+porno+movies.html]free teen porno movies[/url] reason is that a[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/free+porno+tubes+posing+men.html]free porno tubes posing men[/url] typical female [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/high+school+teen+porno.html]high school teen porno[/url] doesn't seek for orgasm; she desires a sexual [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/interracial+porno.html]interracial porno[/url] relationship only because she wants intimacy. Still, such an attitude may make her partner feel bad. [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/blonde+porno+stars+list.html]blonde porno stars list[/url] The only way out is to [url=http://sex.jelev.eu/pelicula+porno+gratis.html]pelicula porno gratis[/url] fake it out.
[url=http://sex.jelev.eu/sexy+lesbian+porno.html]sexy lesbian porno[/url] Some women never really experience orgasm while making sex, but they want their partner to feel good about himself and her. Men usually expect women to have pleasure, that's why females have no other choice. They have to fake to have a good relationship.
Loss of interest, having sex only because the partner wants to, also makes women to fake. Most females talk to their friends about such things and while they know other women act it, they do so too, because it's an easier way to have a good relationship.
In biology, sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/anal+sex+xxx.html]anal sex xxx[/url]
a process of combining and mixing [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/emo+girls+having+sex.html]emo girls having sex[/url]
genetic traits, often resulting [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/iphone+celebrity+sex+tapes.html]iphone celebrity sex tapes[/url]
in the specialization of organisms into [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/forced+to+cum+sex+hard.html]forced to cum sex hard[/url]
a male or female variety (known as a sex). Sexual reproduction involves combining specialized cells (gametes) to form offspring [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/free+shows+live+sex+cams.html]free shows live sex cams[/url]
that [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/red+haired+teen+girls+having+sex.html]red haired teen girls having sex[/url]
inherit traits from both parents. Gametes can be identical in form and function (known as isogametes), but in many cases an asymmetry has evolved [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/interracial+sex+videos.html]interracial sex videos[/url]
such that two sex-specific types of gametes (heterogametes) exist: male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/american+pie+sex+scene.html]american pie sex scene[/url]
gametes are small, [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/adult+sex+games+japanese+dog.html]adult sex games japanese dog[/url]
motile, and optimized to transport their genetic information over a distance, while female gametes are large, non-motile and contain [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/hot+sex+scene.html]hot sex scene[/url]
the nutrients necessary for the early development of the young organism.
An organism's sex is [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/teen+sex++videos.html]teen sex videos[/url]
defined by the gametes it produces: males produce male [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/busty+office+sex.html]busty office sex[/url]
gametes (spermatozoa, or sperm) while females produce female gametes (ova, or egg cells); individual organisms which produce both male and female [URL=http://sex.pourle.net/sex+and+the+city+-+samanthas+orgasm+2.html]sex and the city - samanthas orgasm 2[/url]
gametes are termed hermaphroditic. Frequently, physical differences are associated with the different sexes of an organism; these sexual dimorphisms can reflect the different reproductive pressures the sexes experience.
