Editorial Reviews :
Next to the Buena Vista Social Club, France-based Cuban rappers Ruzzo, Yotuel, Flaco-Pro, and Roldan--a.k.a. the Orishas--were quite recently the hottest musical export from that forbidden island to hit these shores in years. Now, riding on the heels of their international debut A lo Cubano, Emigrant continues the group's soulful syncretism of African-American rap and Afro-Cuban percussion and musical genres. The combo, which is now a trio, adds its patented conga-coded syncopations to the bling-bling hip-hop beats, especially on the synth-trenched 'Que Pasa?' (What's Happenin'?) the horn-driven 'Ninos' (Children), and 'Habana' (Havana). Make no mistake, this CD can bounce alongside any tracks performed by stateside Latino superstars, from Fat Joe to Big Pun.
Buyer Reviews :
For the past 2 years, the Paris based Cuban rap group have been ripping up world wide air waves. On 'Emigrante,' Orishas continue their successful rap/salsa/son/guancaco mix, creating yet another classic album. Many tracks shine through on their eclectic mix of music. 'La Vida Pasa,' a most impressive salsa/rap mix, incorporates traditional Cuban percussion with electronic drums and a mezmorizing piano line. Altogether, the album is both upbeat and mello at times, excentuating the talents of the threesome that now makes up the group. If you liked 'A Lo Cubano,' you'll not be dissapointed with 'Emigrante.' A solid, and invigorating album all around.
