Welcome back to Pimping the Public Library. Every week I enlighten you to a particular cd the Austin Public Library has in their mountainous volumes of holdings.
This week's selection:
Si Para Usted: Funky Beats of Revolutionary Cuba Vol 1
Call Number: CD LATIN SI
If you thought Grupo Fantasma was cool check out this compilation to hear where it all began. Indeed each track is funkier than the last. The funkiest probably being the title track Si Para Usted by Grupo Monumental.
The label, Waxing Deep Records, began as a radio show hosted by Dan Zacks. It is currently on an extended hiatus but you can download every show on the web site:

The tracks released on this record were liberated from cuba to be appreciated by a western audience and, according to Zacks, many of them cannot be heard elsewhere.
aaaaaaaand if you like this record and just can't wait for volume two well you're in luck because it just came out this year.
