Next up in the Mr Bongo Cuban Classics series is an outing by the mighty Juan Pablo Torres from 1978. Released on Cuba's state-owned Areito imprint, Algo Nuevo showcases trombonist, bandleader, arranger and producer Juan Pablo Torres' unique scope of sound. A melting pot of an album that weaves together jazz-funk and traditional Afro-Cuban genres with tripped-out synth touches and dancefloor grooves. The opener 'Pan Caliente' is a fiery celebration, combining a driving groove with Latin percussion, feverish horns and infectious "la-la-la" vocals. The wild, squelching cosmic synthlines give an otherworldly touch to proceedings that sit nicely on a modern dancefloor. 'Guajira 2001' is perhaps Juan's future-focussed take on the vibrant style of Cuban dance-led music called guajira. Blistering bongos, congas and claves moving together with trumpets, trombones and twanging acoustic guitars that you can't help but bounce to.Other highlights include, 'Cacao', a Cuban cosmic funk strutter that places the claves upfront, with a scatting vocal line and percussive climax reminiscent of George Kranz electronic disco anthem 'Din Daa Daa' from 1983. Elsewhere, 'Elvira' further showcases the psychedelic essence of many of the album's tracks. A deep Latin workout where tasty percussive breaks and scorching keys blend with trippy vocals and rumbling synths.A varied album encompassing a variety of Afro-Cuban genres and rhythms entwined with flashes of mind-bending cosmic influence. Algo Nuevo is a further jewel in Cuba's musical crown of riches, with plenty of dancefloor treats and downtempo numbers held within.

Great idea, great cover, poor execution
Format: Paperback
This is a great idea that was badly done. On the production side, insufficient glue in the binding causes pages to fall out when you turn them - dozens of pages, not just one or two. This is surprising given the good quality of the paper and cover. As for content, the writing is very poor & shallow. I'm reminded of a high school essay by poor student unfamiliar with history who is looking looking up the subject matter on Wikipedia as they go but leaving out all the good stuff. For example, we get a king list for Kush spread over several pages, but virtually no actual history -- despite the fact that all of Egypt was there to quote from for at least the enemy's side of the story, and Assyrian sources could have been cited as well. I don't gain much new information from the 50th repetition of "nobody knows this" and "nobody knows that." A real historian can impost structure on the unknowns by showing the archaeology or citing history & folklore & epigraphs. This could have been presented in simple high school language, outlining the alternative possibilities from the little we do know, and explaining how we know what little we know. Photographs of actual ruins and art would help. Unfortunately the subject matter is really not touched. Too bad. This could have been a very good project.

Very Good Quality 👍🏾
Color: Gold Polished, Color: Gold Polished
Good quality. Study with some weight to it. Was pleasantly surprised at how good this looks. The gold color is very shiny which is what I was looking for. The base is large enough to hold a thick roll of Viva paper towels.

Great Paper Towel Holder! Sturdy and Stylish
Color: Black
I’ve been using this paper towel holder for about 6 months now, and I’m very happy with it! The design is sleek and modern, making it a perfect fit for my kitchen. It’s made from durable steel, and I love that the finish still looks brand new after months of use. The best part is how easy it is to replace rolls. I can quickly swap out old rolls without any hassle. The weighted base and non-slip pad are fantastic features – I’ve accidentally bumped it a few times, and it hasn’t tipped over once. It stays securely in place, which is a huge plus. I also appreciate that it’s versatile enough to fit all paper towel sizes. Overall, this is a high-quality and functional product that’s also aesthetically pleasing. Highly recommend it if you’re looking for a sturdy, easy-to-use paper towel holder!

Perfect!
Color: Warm Gold, Color: Warm Gold
Been using this thing for over a year now and it is fantastic. The color is beautiful and as described. The price was a very good price point. The size is everything you need it to be because it’s nice and sturdy; it holds a big Costco size roll. And the roll actually fits over the top. You don’t have to unscrew it. In love.

Stylish and sturdy paper towel holder
Color: Gold Polished
This gold paper towel holder looks great on my counter and works perfectly. The base is nice and heavy keeping it sturdy, which keeps it from sliding or tipping when I pull off a paper towel. I’ve had no issues with the roll coming loose or falling off, even when grabbing sheets quickly. It’s both functional and elegant. Gives you good value for the money. Definitely worth it if you want something that looks good and stays in place.
