Baila! Gitano Baila! October 2004 USA
Another charming CD of music from the imaginative mind of composer/performer Roberto Rodriguez, whose first CD El Danzon de Moises is one of Tzadik's best sellers. Celebrating the elusive Jewish community of Cuba, Roberto has fashioned an exotic new music that brilliantly blends both Latin and Jewish traditions. Featuring a hot new band and brilliant new compositions Roberto's new CD is as soulful as it is danceable.

El Danzon de Moises Dec 2001 - Europe, Jan 2002 USA
The dynamic drummer/percussionist for Joe Jackson, Marc Ribot's Los Cubanos Postizos , L. Subramaniam and a variety of other groups here excavates the fascinating world of Cuba's little known Jewish community. Roberto's firsthand experience with both Cuban and Jewish traditions (performing at Miami Beach Yiddish Theatre in the1970's, and exposure to the Radical Jewish Culture Revolution in New York's downtown community of the 1990's), have resulted in a brilliant recording blending the two into a seamless new music. Featuring an all-star lineup, El Danzon de Moises is a CD that will make you think, make you laugh and make you dance.
