Review
The magnetic, ninetysomething Francisco Repilado, better known as Compay Segundo, recorded the first 78 rpm discs in Cuba in the 1930s with his seven-stringed armónico/tres guitar. After decades of obscurity following the 1959 revolution, guitarist-producer Ry Cooder catapulted Segundo to world fame with the hit Buena Vista Social Club CD. On Duets, Segundo's silky baritone voice is paired with old and new friends and family. Segundo's BVSC homegirl Omara Portuondo puts her spin on the classic track "La Pluma," while Segundo's guitarist son, Basilio, synchs with dad on "Linda Graciela." Segundo's global duets include the mesmerizing morna-charanga "Linda Graciela" with Cape Verdean empress Cesaria Evora, the Gallic-graced "Morir de Amor" with French legend Charles Aznavour, and an Afro-Moorish rendition of "Saludo a Chango" with Algerian singer Khaled. Segundo also pairs up with neuva trova icons Silvio Rodriguez and Pablo Milanes, and even kicks it with the "Mambo No. 5" man Lou Bega and actor Antonio Banderas. Not bad for someone nine decades young. --Eugene Holley, Jr.
