- ""Pepita" sends an oboe soaring
skyward on a gust of lush piano and hard-slapping bongo before Hector Casanova
of El Gran Combo, Puerto Rico's outstanding neo-plena band, steps in with
a magnificently full-blooded performance. Bonacana Maiga counters the straight
ahead Latin feel with an experimental arrangement, pitting a synthesised
marimba against growling trombones to exhilarating effect." (Mark Hudson)
