The idea is there and it is good. Take a handful of songs from their repertoire and make them credible in other capacities music - Cuban in this case - add some unpublished, some themed cover and the disc is served. That 's what made Sugar in his new worldwide project "The sesión Cuban" album recorded entirely in Havana and inevitably rhythm, as traditional island wants. But it must certainly have been a so cold calculation behind this new project, because they feel the thirteen tracks, you feel all the joy and warmth that can only be in one session spontaneous and free. The sounds rotten strip the songs of their original coating, making them rough and sweaty, accomplice having recorded everything live in the studio. So happen to listen to the well-known "The Scream", "Baila", "A kilo" and "Cuba libre" perfectly at home in a not so far as their nature already very sunny. It also happens to run into a less obvious choice with the ballads "So Heavenly" and "Indigo eyes in the sky", more forced - but still beautiful - the first, the second perfectly centered. And as for the cover, the choice is varied. Pleasant selected songs to the repertoire drawing Caribbean less popular but certainly strong influences of Latin, as "Nena" and "Pana" (sung in duet with Bebe), and it is to compliment the passionate version of "Ave Maria no morro" , made two entries with the Brazilian star Djavan, while of course not the choice of "Never is a moment" the Texan Jimmy Lafave, seemingly out of the chorus, not so much for the language context. Produced by the same sugar and Don Was (which to complete this work has put on hold for a couple of days Mick Jagger & C.), the album sees tracklist also two new songs: "Love is all around" (written by Pasquale Panella) and "Sabor a ti", both of Sugar clear brand and potential singles. Focused on the choice of songs, we have not said that to sound Cuban musicians were prepared and participatory, that they put to the service of their experience and Sugar generosity and above all have made it very believable.
And we close with the Italian adaptation of "Guantanamera (Guajira)", which is one of the highest points of the disk, unexpected current and fresh, and say that touching historical songs is always a gamble and rarely comes out unscathed. But Sugar apparently can, he who in 2000 gave us a live version of "I saw Nina fly" by the grace and strength that surpassed the original deandreiana. Sugar is certainly a gambler, but uses put the fun in front of the victory. This is an album like "The Cuban sesión" does not seek praise or criticism, as the result of a moment of fun and tasty pretext for a series of concerts that promise to be unleashed. Let's take the case.
