Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring, infectious 'Wepa' chant that transforms a standard dance beat into a cultural anthem.
The way the dry, minimalist Pharrell production on the title track contrasts with Gloria's rich, narrative alto.
The theatrical, horn-inflected swing of 'Hotel Nacional' that bridges old-world Havana with modern club sonics.
