Ladies,
these are the guys your mama warned you about ...the
same ones most of us dream about snuggling up next
to every night for a rockin' and rollin' good time!
Problem is, they were up on stage and out of reach,
except for some ladies in the front row who were
extremely atrevidas and who managed to slide
their hands up Carlos Manuel's thigh when he stepped
too close to the front edge of the stage... Ñó!
But
was it contagious, hot, fun and energetic? YOU BET IT WAS!
This
is the best young timba band that I know of in Cuba
today. I was lucky enough to see them for myself
nearly four years ago at La Casa de la Música
in Havana, back when they were just starting out.
I remember the musicians jumping off the stage in
the middle of the show to sell casettes and cds
of their first album, Por
la Vena el Gusto, to the people in
the audience.
No
longer do they have to resort to such antics to
sell albums. Their flagrant sexuality has all the
women flocking to buy these cds, and their boyfriends
wondering, "Where can I learn to
move like that?"
It
looked to me like their choreographer added some
afro-brazilian samba moves as well as hip hop moves
to their routines, but the combination is a winning
one, because it makes the crowds go wild.
Beyond
the great dancing and showmanship, Carlos Manuel
has a great voice. Add charisma to that and you
have a phenomenal young artist with tremendous international
appeal. If this show comes to a city near you, be
sure not to miss it! And get ready to sweat and
dance up a storm!
Special
thanks to Hugo Cancio for having the co**nes to
bring Cuban groups to Miami!
Be
sure to check out their other album, Malo
Cantidad.
