CANTALUCHA – Sånger till Kuba (Mistlur, 1979)

 
Swedish vocals, other languages
International relevance: -

What an incredibly tepid album. The title means ”songs for Cuba” and I suppose the album was made in support of Fidel's country but the performances are so debile it's more like an insult than a tribute. All of it sounds like tourist shop muzak, entirely devoid of any passion Cuban music may have. The vocals are so ninnyish I almost feel sorry for them. Cantalucha sound like a bunch of daycare teachers on soporifics. Needless to say, there's not one real Cuban among them. Had there been, they'd surely have stopped this hogwash from ever happening.
