"These recordings showcase a lesser -known side of Arturo Sandoval's multi-faceted brilliance. His tone is lush, and his phrasing of the popular Latin canción form is impeccable. One of the most fiery performers and technical virtuosos of his instrument, this album brings out Sandoval' s sensitive side, displaying his ability to play more with less." - María Elena Mendiola, Havana, September 2006

This CD is part of an exquisite new collection from Malanga Music, established with the purpose of uncovering outstanding rare material by legendary figures in the history of Cuban music. This material had been previously locked away in the vaults collecting dust, but two years of extensive investigation in Havana's Areíto studio archives have brought these gems to light.

All these CDs have been digitised directly from the original masters, and many of them have never been previously released on CD! These editions also boast 16 or 20-page comprehensive booklets featuring previously unissued photos and texts in both English and Spanish, written by important Cuban musicologists and journalists.
