Emigrante
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. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
