  • Description

    This debut recording by Rebel Tumbao is unique bilingual stew of Cuban, Jamaican and American roots music with a playful, swinging quality and sense of spontaneity. It features the powerhouse vocals of Toussaint "The Liberator" Yeshua with special guests, Salsa music's premier sonero, Herman Olivera and Marcos Bermudez.

    Rebel Tumbao, was conceived out of deep frustration and concern for the state of the world, Its visionaries, world renowned percussionist José Claussell and pianist Matt Jenson joined forces in a mission to create a distinctive sound, kick open the door to people's consciousness and bring forth a new voice in the struggle for social justice.



    The lyrics on the original compositions, "The Story", "Masters of Greed" and "Your First Million", feature sharp commentary about the need for serious change in our society. Along with this original material are heartfelt renditions of Bob Marley's classic compositions, "Natural Mystic", "Turn Your Lights Down Low", "Sun is Shining" and "Rebel Music". And there's a beautifully executed fusion of "Exodus" with John Coltrane's "A Love Supreme" that transports the listener to a mystic place.



    Personnel: Matt Jenson (piano, organ, Fender Rhodes, percussion), Jose Claussell (percussion, vocals, Spanish lyrics, backing vocals), Toussaint "The Liberator" Yeshua (lead vocals), Ruben Rodriguez (bass), Orlando Vega, Anthony Carillo (percussion), Angel Subero, Squantch, Scott Flynn (trombone), Catherine Russell, Cleveland Jones (backing vocals) with special guests vocalists Herman Olivera & Marcos Bermudez
