REVIEW:
Sabor!!
author: Richard A. Diaz
These cats bring the son. Stripped of the glossy, cookie cutter "salsa" sound prevelant today, this group exposes the roots of son and the nuances that give each successive listen beautiful color. Cuban music is alive and smoking in the capable hands of these musicians. Adelante amigos!
REVIEW:
Best I've heard since Buena Vista!
After the passing of most of the Buena Vista Social CLub members. One is left with a desire for more. To my surprise this traditional Cuban Son outfit based out of Miami, Fl. resembles that nostalgic sound that has brought life to the traditions of Cuban Music. I see Conjunto Progreso as the next generation or the torch bearers of Traditional Cuban Son.
REVIEW:
2006 Grammy Nominee

Conjunto Progreso is by far the most succesful Cuban Son group in the United States. Their live shows are full of energy. I recommend this CD for lovers of real Cuban Son.
