David Byrne throws down the tunes

Streaming Afro-Cuban classics!

Courtesy of David Byrne, these fine fine tunes are on the Mojo side of the spectrum and quite delicious.

Here's what D.B. has to say:

"The early Afro-Cuban music in the 1st part is, to me, sometimes at least, what I imagine Robert Johnson’s blues recordings are to Eric Clapton and Keith Richards. The lilting melodies of Trio Matamoros, Orquesta Aragon and the compositions of the great composer Lecuona are some kind of holy grail of the heart in the same way that the legendary bluesman’s few recordings are to many rockers."

Give it a listen!
