Description:

Proving that she has a special gift for picking musical directors, the Queen of Salsa works with three high-profile producers on this highly energetic outing, each representing a different stylistic avenue. Former collaborator Johnny Pacheco, with whom Celia Cruz recorded some of the best albums of her career during the '70s, adds his old-fashioned charm to two songs: the refreshingly simple "Tararea Kumbayea" and "Dejenme Vivir," a tune that finds La Reina asking her detractors to stop criticizing her and mind their own business instead. "Hay Que Empezar Otra Vez" and "Sin Clave No Hay Son" are helmed by Isidro Infante, a virtuoso pianist who represents the undying spirit of New York salsa. The remaining six tracks are handled by Sergio George, the man responsible for bringing a grittier, hip-hop informed aesthetic to tropical music. Fittingly, Cruz's syrupy voice shares the spotlight with rapper Mikey Perfecto on the album's bouncy title track. One of salsa's classiest performers, Cruz has adapted to modern times with elegance and style. --Ernesto Lechner

This cd was in excellent condition. The delivery date was sooner than I expected and the entire purchase process was convenient.

I have yet to buy a cd of Celia that has kept me in a sitting position, you just have to get up and dance, dance, dance.

5Move  Sep 26, 2006
I know absolutely zip about Tumbao except that it moves me to move me. And I don't like to move much. I'm like a lichen stuck to a rock, I sit and vegetate. So I made myself get up and go down to the music store in a local mall. I love Latin music of all types, I am scandalously indiscriminate. I have downloaded Celia Cruz onto my cell phone where I use some tunes as ringtones. I know what you're saying, what a Philistine! but I heard this and simply fell for Celia (no longer among the living, sad to say); she made me an addict. So when I went into the record store I headed straight to the Latina music and saw Celia Cruz and grabbed this album. When I got home and put it on the disc player, the first note made me shoot out of my seat like a corn kernel which had just been popped. Then, very un-lichenlike, I began to move. I moved through all the rooms in the house approximating a Latin dance of some sort, another case of scandalous indiscrimination... Samba-salsa-meringue-cha cha cha-mambo-rhumba, man, I did 'em ALL. I just wiggled my ancient hips and got myself into a real lather. I couldn't stop. The whole album just rocks so conscientiously! And guess what? I lost 20 pounds in one hour! Talk about a great workout, whew! I'm just wiped out. I gotta sit down now, but y'all buy this disc ya hear? Your body will thank you, your heart will thank you, and your mind will zone and you will thank it, later when you can think again.

5"La Negra Tiene Tumbao"; Cruz, Celia  Aug 05, 2002
This is the first Celia Cruz music I've heard.

Based on this CD, I'll be searching her sixty-nine remaining CD's and looking forward to other works by this exciting artist.

I hope to be as productive when I'm seventy-eight.
