Daniel Cros
Las Vueltas que de la Vida (Rosazul)
Daniel
Cros is a Spanish pianist and singer who, after a career in rock, discovered
the music of one of his country’s former colonies, Cuba. His fifth album,
recorded with Cuban expatriates as well as jazzmen from Cros’ homeland,
conjures up the florid yet bittersweet emotions and rhythmic tempi of Cuba in
an elegant set of original songs built around Cros’ piano and lonesome sketches
of Spain from his accompanists.
