Album Description
Andy Garcia's critically acclaimed film The Lost City is a personal and emotional story about a Havana family during the time of the Cuban Revolution. The impact of the historical events on their diverging lives is conveyed through this exceptional soundtrack. The two-disc soundtrack contains classic Cuban tracks from Cachao, Benny More, Chappottin, Omar Sosa, Ruben Gonzalez, and Bola de Nieve, plus Andy Garcia's own very personal score. The music plays an integral part in the film and many reviewers have raved about the significance of the music in the narrative of the story. This is a soundtrack for film aficionados as well as Cuban and world music fans.

Andy Garcia directed, starred in and composed the score for this obvious labor of love movie, set in late-'50s Cuba. In his spare time, he also played the piano in the Lost City Orchestra, the de facto house band that performs Garcia's music as well as numbers by the likes of Ernesto Lecuona, widely acknowledged as one of the greatest Cuban composers ever ("A la Antigua," "Danza Lucumi," and "La Comparsa" unfurl glorious string charts). Garcia plays a nightclub owner in Havana right before and during the revolution, thus making music an integral aspect of the movie--no wonder this two-CD set features 45 tracks. In keeping with the movie's period feel, the non-score songs are made up of an array of amazing Cuban dance classics by the likes of Rolando Laserie, inspired player of boleros and guarachas, or mambo master Cachao Lopez (the subject of a documentary directed by Garcia). The latter performs the instrumental version of the gorgeous "Si Me Pudieras Querer," the song that serves as the movie's love theme, while Bola de Nieve handles the vocal one. It was brave of Garcia to juxtapose his own compositions to such numbers, but it's also hard not to think they sound a little bland by comparison. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

If you love Cuban music... December 12, 2007

If you love Cuban music, you will love this CD. I saw the movie "The Lost City" about two years ago and, being of Cuban heritage, loved it and the movie's soundtrack. I could not find a mention of the soundtrack anywhere that I usually shop for CDs until I found it on Amazon. I was not disappointed! Great mix of different styles of Cuban music, well worth the investment.
Rekindled the Cuban Spirit! December 2, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Most of my life I've been content saying I was Cuban. However, I really don't know much about my Cuba since I was born in 1958 and left my country in 1961. The heritage I've gained has been fortified by my relatives who raised me here in the U.S. The Lost City Soundtrack rekindles my Cuban spirit with music my relatives played for me as a child. It's an important piece of music anthology for anyone who needs a spirit lift -- especially if you want to reminisce about the happiest days of your life. And for those who have no need for that "spirit lifting," but just like good music, I recommend you buy this CD and listen to where the "Salsa Music" roots come from and the proud African and Spanish Cultures intertwine.
