On back:
You have in your hands the musical legacy of an essential figure in the history of Cuban music: Bebo Valdés, legendary arranger/composed, bandleader and pianist. Suite Cubana is his magnum opus: a five-star tour of the rhythms of his life, performed by an all-star big band. In El Solar de Bebo you'll find danza, joropo, ballads (dedicated to his daughters and wife) and red-hot jams. With their performance, New York's finest musicians pay tribute to the maestro.
