Emigrante

This is more rap-based, and less afro-cuban-roots-based music than you might have heard in "A Lo Cubano." It also incorporates some of the influences that will inevitably combine with Orishas as a result of their living in Paris.
This in no way pollutes the music, but instead adds depth and worldliness to it.

Emigrante is a bit harder, similar in some ways to the lyrical style of Control Machete, but still with the cuban harmonies and melodies that make this band accessible to many. I recommend it, but ease your way into it with A Lo Cubano if you haven't already. I share Orishas with whomever I can find.

The price is fair for an import, though a US version is bound to make its way over here, right?

orishas comes back with another amazing record!! this cd had me completely hooked!! as if "a lo cubano" wasn't amazing enough, the guys from orishas come back with a bang. even without flaco-pro, who had some serious skills. he left the group about 4 shows into a tour because his brother got in with some bad people in miami. he was killed, and flaco-pro turned to booze. but be on the look out for flaco, because word is he's still writing and collaborating and recording...
anyway, i can't wait til "el kilo," their third cd drops march 29th. i saw a video online of "naci orishas" (the first single) online and it's incredible!!

Orishas are unique! This new album is just more melodic and their talents stays intact. I do believe they can do better than this, there hasn't been another latin group in history who's albums have gone gold in three diferent countries, I don't think any other spanish-speaking rap group or solo artist can do what they do, besides they they are multilingual: Spanish, French and Yoruba, tell me, who has ever gone this far? Nobody!
