\nIt is quite uncommon for a good Timba band to come from the USA, with most being mixed Cuban-American examples such as Mamborama<\/a>.<\/p>\n
This one is not “all American”, and is led by the wonderful Cuban pianist Ariacne Trujillo, which is nowadays a member of the Pedrito Martinez Group<\/a> – this is an earlier project of hers, which although did not last until nowadays, was still wonderful, and produced fine Timba songs such as the one mentioned in this post.<\/p>\n The band is quite large, sporting 13 musicians including pianist, bass player, percussion, horns, guiro, flute and violin; Some of the musicians are Cuban, some are American.<\/p>\n The song I present here today, “Pa’ Que Me Criticas”, is originally by Dan Den<\/a>, but received a big energy shot from La Bola, taking it to the more wild side of the Timba spectrum.<\/p>\n Disfruten!<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.timba.com\/page_files\/0000\/0214\/labola.jpg\")
