CD is deleted; probably the last copies on vinyl... "As the final cornerstone of Soul Jazz's Nu Yorica releases, this release shows the authentic music of Cuba's Santeria -- which lies at the heart of all Afro-Cuban music and influenced the music and ideas of artists such as Eddie Palmieri, Machito, Grupo Folklorico, Milton Cardona and Mongo Santamaria on Nu Yorica 1 & 2. Recorded by Soul Jazz records in Havana, Cuba and featuring the Bata drumming and songs of Santeria. The music is performed by Grupo Oba-Ilu. Made up of members of the Grupo Folklorico of Cuba, the Cuban state's most famous music, folklore and dance group -- plus members of various Santerian temples. An important stage in Cuba's opening up to the West, as Soul Jazz was one of the first non-Cuban companies allowed to record at the state owned ICAIC studios in Havana."
