<\/p>\nGood afternoon dear readers!<\/p>\n
Do you remember your first date with a beloved one?
\nThe excitement, the anticipation, the preparations, wanting to present your best… Then, you hear that bell ringing, and\u00a0your heard beats so strong a fast that it feels like it’s going to pop out of your chest and fly to cloud 9 !<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
That, with some typically Cuban twists, is the story told in\u00a0the following wonderful composition by Orquesta Reve<\/a>, from their 1988 album, “Que Cuento Es Ese?”; The song was composed and arranged by the genius Juan Carlos Alfonso, who after this album will retire from the Orquesta to form his own amazing band – Dan Den<\/a>, which will later make a cover version of their own for this song. This album is one of 3, together with “Rumberos Latino-Americanos” and “La Explosion del Momento” which came out during 3 consecutive years (1986-1988), and helped bring back Reve to the primera linea of Cuban bands after a relative quiet period during the 1970’s.<\/p>\n I highly recommend reading the fascinating article<\/a> on Juan Carlos Alfonso during his time with Orquesta Reve, written by Kevin Moore of Timba.com<\/a> ; It would be great accompaniment for the song, which you can hear right now here \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Disfruten !<\/p>\n
\nAlfonso’s guiding hand can be heard right since the beginning, as the song starts with an interesting piano intro.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.recordsale.de\/cdpix\/e\/elioreveysucharangon-quecuentoesese....jpg\")
