ARSENIO!!!!!!

FROM A CD REVIEW: "Like thousands of Cubans before and after him Arsenio first went to Miami but hated it there because of the racial prejudice he encountered, settling instead in the South Bronx district of New York, a lively Puertorican neighbourhood. Arsenio telegrammed Chappottín telling him he could change the name of the band if he wanted to because he had decided to remain in the United States. Little did he know that he would never set foot on Cuban soil again.

The new conjunto he organised there featured René Hernandez on piano, Mario Cora on trumpet and Candido Antomattei on vocals.

Arsenio's popularity in New York was never to match what it had been in Cuba. His arrival coincided with the peak of the mambo craze. The three big latin bands of the day were those of Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez and Machito, all of which were heavily, if memorably, influenced by jazz. Arsenio's African sound proved to be about twenty years ahead of its time.

Como Se Goza En El Barrio (TCD-022), again on Tumbao, brings us the first recordings made by this new group in 1953. Swing Y Son is a witty blending of the son-montuno Cumaye with Glenn Miller's classic In The Mood! The CD is transferred from an LP on the Tico label.

 Arsenio continued to innovate in the United States. In 1957 he released Sabroso and Caliente, incorporating timbales and even, on Devuelveme La Ilusión and La Fonda De Bienvenido a flute. This is by no means an attempt to copy a charanga instrumentation: the horns are still present and the interplay between horns and flute is masterful

MY WEB RESEARCH:En Nueva York para el album "Sabroso y Caliente" de 1957, Arsenio regresa a su grupo con Wito y Julián Llanos de primeras voces, Antomattei de Segunda; Pedro Luis Jackson, Luis Berríos y Mario Cora, trp.; Gilberto Valdés, flauta; Israel Berríos, g.; "El látigo", p.; Baró, bajo; Francisco Angel Bastar "Kako" en el timbal; Raúl Travieso en el bg.; y Kike en l a tumbadora. .

This CD re-issue on Antilla (CD-586) is the of most basic kind possible: a recording of a surviving LP, with a photograph of the sleeve for the cover art, and no sleeve notes whatsoever! The masters are not of the very best quality but the album is a must just for the awesomely powerful recording of Arsenio's son-montuno Mamí Me Gustó which will sound eerily familar to anyone who has been enjoying the recent revival in Cuban music: Ibrahim Ferrer covered it on his 1999 debut album on World Circuit. Arsenio's band are just all over the all star band assembled for that occasion.

Lili Martinez' Hay Fuego En El 23 is another standard associated with Arsenio's conjunto. El 23 was a musically rich solar located in the barrio of El Cerro, next to Havana's former 7-Up factory.

WEB REMARKS:

1- “He was eight years old when he got kicked by a horse and became blind.

Cuban tres player and Band leader Arsenio Rodriguez is still the

main name if we speak of 40's and 50's Son. They say he is one of the

most influential figures in Cuban Son, together with trumpeteer Felix

Chappottin. Salsa we hear today is still based on the sound that these

great musicians made some 50 years ago. This is a rare and classic

Cuban album, get it while you can.”

WE USE STURDY CARDBOARD MADE BY BAGS UNLIMITED IN ORDER TO TO PROTECT YOUR RECORDS FOR ANY MISHANDLING/DAMAGE WHILE IN-TRANSIT

Record Grading: Standard guidelines for grading records comes down to a subjective judgment that may vary from person to person. We grade records and LP covers visually AND (when possible) play-tested. We make every effort to give full disclosure (remember that the LP has at least 12 tracks and the grading may vary between each other)  and your satisfaction is guaranteed. Don't assume that our vinyl determination of "Very Good+" is the same as yours!

MM RECORDS: are shiny, with no visible defects. They might have some minor superficial (“Paper”) scuff but they should play without any noise. Writing, stickers or other markings cannot appear on the label, nor can any “spindle marks” from someone trying to blindly put the record on the turntable. Major factory defects also must not be present; a record and label obviously pressed off center is not Near Mint. If played, it will do so with no surface noise. (NM records don’t have to be “never played”; a record used on an excellent turntable can remain NM after many plays if the disc is properly cared for.)

NM COVERS: have no creases, ring wear or seam splits of any kind.
NM  PICTURES SLEEVES: should look as if they never housed a record. This is a great reason to remove your 45s from their picture sleeves and keep them separate. Just keeping the 45 inside the sleeve will cause damage than can reduce the grade of the sleeve.

VG++ (Excellent) RECORDS: Barely noticeable play wear and background noise. May have surface scuffs and/or superficial marks, which will be inaudible or indiscernible from the background, no scratches. Very nice, no flaws noted.
VG++ COVERS: Artwork is still as close to perfect as can be. Some impression to the cover (minor outer ring wear) but no ink wear! Some slight creases to the corners, but not wrinkled and obtrusive to the eye. The corners can show white (where the artwork pasted slick was) meaning, slight wear. No seam splits or writing on the cover or taped repairs can make this grade.

VG+ RECORDS:  may show some slight signs of wear, including light scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are OK. Minor signs of handling are OK, too, such as telltale marks around the center hole, but repeated playing has not misshapen the hole. There may be some very light ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable

.VG+ COVERS:  should have only minor wear. A VG+ cover might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the most vulnerable location. Also, a VG+ cover may have some defacing, such as a cut-out marking. Covers with cut-out markings can never be considered Near Mint Unless Tiny/Small (EG: Tiny DH).

VG+ PICTURE SLEEVES: might show some very light creasing where it is obvious that a record once resided (or still does reside). A VG+ picture sleeve might have some very minor seam wear or a split (less than one inch long) at the bottom, the sleeve’s most vulnerable location.

VG RECORDS:  have more obvious flaws than their counterparts in better shape. They lack most of the original gloss found on factory-fresh records. Groove wear is evident on sight, as are light scratches deep enough to feel with a fingernail. When played, a VG record has surface noise, and some scratches  may be audible, especially in soft passages and during a song’s intro and ending. But the noise will not overpower the music otherwise. Minor writing, tape, or a sticker can detract from the label. Many collectors who have jukeboxes   will use VG records in them and not think twice. They remain a fine listening experience, just not the same as if it were in better shape.

VG COVERS and PICTURE SLEEVES:  will have many signs of human handling. Ring wear  in the middle or along the edges of the cover where the edge of a record would  reside, is obvious, though not overwhelming. Some more creases might be  visible. Seam splitting will be more obvious; it may appear on all three sides,  though it won’t be obvious upon looking. Someone might have written or stamped  a price tag on it, too.

RECORDS GRADED VG OR BELOW WILL BE "SOLD AS IS"

(We Will Try To Grade Them As Accurately As Possible!)
