En el Barrio de Versalles

by Celeste Mendoza and Clave y Guaguanco

Clave y Guaguanco are synonymous with Afro-Cuban music and are the most sought-after rumba group at present. In this extraordinary new track the queen of Rumba Celeste Mendoza with the powerful percussive and vocal harmony based group combine traditional Afro-Cuban rhythms including guaguanco, bataguanco and catumba with poetry, flamenco and powerful singing achieving a real revelation in rumba. Soon after this recording Celeste Mendoza passed away and this was her last recording.
