Description
Guantánamo is the home of Yasel Gonzalez Rivera and Gerald Thomas Collymore, the driving forces behind Madera Limpia (meaning "pure wood").
Their first album was released as the soundtrack to the award-winning 2004 documentary Paraiso, a kind of road movie about their life in Guantánamo. On this new album, Gerald's and Yasel's characteristic blend of local acoustic traditions and urban Latino youth culture shows that post-Buena Vista Cuba is alive and kicking and is ready to make you dance while being firmly rooted in the traditions of Cuban music.
Guantánamo is a small town in the southeast of Cuba where tourists are rarely seen. There are no sights or attractions or beautiful beaches – the beaches that exist, about 13 miles from the town, are under US control and the location of the military base of Guantánamo Bay.
Madera Limpia view life in Cuba in these times of radical change as a challenge, just like they suggest in their last song which is full of premonition: "And if everything goes wrong, it's not because life came to an end, it is time for a new departure, lift up and keep walking ..."
