the album Rumba All Stars (La rumba soy yo) will present a DVD at the Cubadisco
2005 Fair, May 21 through 29.
Ayva Musica Company representative Antonio Valero, in charge of the audiovisual release, told Prensa Latina the DVD is a significant material, since it depicts the vocal, instrumental and choreographic work of the Afro-Cuban rumba group, one of the most prestigious and famous. The DVD includes 19 carefully selected songs, set in a vibrant, colorful show that will definitely attract the fans, Valero stated. The soundtrack includes original songs by the outfit and many other of the Afro-Antillean repertoire and even an impressive cover of Andres Eloy Blanco"s "Angelitos Negros," the producer added. The DVD will also be released worldwide, Valero confirmed, since he achieved its international distribution during the last MIDEM festival of Cannes. Companies operating in markets such as those in France, the United States or Germany, bought the audiovisual and some other will soon sign agreements on the matter. sus/fx/js |
