The Creole Choir of Cuba, made up of ten singers (six women and four men) descended from Haitian slaves, bring a joyous bounce and groove to everything they touch, as well as a gospel-like intensity. This isn't a choir in the gospel sense, though. In Cuba each region has its own professionally supported choir, not associated with any church, capable of singing at weddings, funerals, birthdays, parties, parades, or anything else that pops up, so these guys are a different kind of choir, and an amazing one. Santiman, which follows 2010's Tande-La, is another joyous, passionate, political, and at times breathtaking set of tracks from this delightful group.
