Review - 18th June 2004
Asere's new album Destinos (Astar, £13.99) has the hallmarks
of a crossover world music hit. They're a hard-working live band,
currently touring small venues around the UK and due to appear on
the Jazz World stage at Glastonbury (on June 26), but they have
taken the time to prepare a well-programmed studio album, with a
variety of songwriters, arrangement styles and guests, including
Billy Cobham (for an exuberant Habanera), Eric the General and members
of the Lochrian Ensemble.
Romantica, a string-enhanced ballad by former Asere frontman
Adan Pedroso, is the kind of irresistible song that deserves to
turn up on Valentine's Day compilations for years to come, while
A Favor del Viento and Vengan Todos a Bailar el Son (both Asere
originals) are danceable examples of their contemporary approach
to the Cuban son tradition. There's plenty of art in making music
sound this effortless.
