Chucho Valdes - Jazz Bata

Review by Flávia Adalgiza

Jazz Bata by Chucho Valdes is a captivating album that blends the traditional rhythms of Afro-Cuban music with the improvisational freedom of jazz. The album features a talented ensemble of musicians, including Valdes on piano, Yaroldy Abreu Robles on percussion, Dreiser Durruthy Bombalé on vocals and batá drums, and many others.

The opening track, "Obatalá Suite," sets the tone for the album with its hypnotic rhythms and intricate melodies. Valdes' piano playing is virtuosic, and he effortlessly weaves in and out of the complex rhythms of the percussion. The track "Son XXI" is another standout, featuring a catchy melody and a lively, danceable rhythm.

Throughout the album, Valdes and his bandmates demonstrate their mastery of both jazz and Afro-Cuban music. The batá drums, in particular, add a unique and powerful element to the music, and Bombalé's vocals are soulful and expressive.
