Tito Gonzales began
performing in Cuba,
singing and playing the diminutive local guitar called the tres. Somehow, he made his way to San Francisco and formed a band with fellow
Cuban expatriates, Son de Cuba. Their new album is a band effort in sound, with
crisp arrangements for horns, piano and a rumba line of percussion. Al Doblar la Esquina was recorded in Havana and captures the
classic sound of Cuban dance bands, topped with Gonzales' smooth, confident
vocals in call and response with his bandmates.
