Ever since I heard the news, I've been listening to some of her old work with Tito Puente.

And the newest Buena Vista Social club CD. As kiki pointed out Compay was the best of the best. Or as Ry Cooder put it...the LAST of the BEST.

I'm a huge Cubano fan...so all of this is very sad...and coming on the heels of the passing of Nina Simone....it seems like the end of an era. I got my start in Afro-Cuban music with Irakere in the late 70's when I visited Havana and Pinar del Rio and then worked my way back to the work of these incomparable legends (and the incomparable Patato, among others).

God, please protect Arturo y Paquito....let death pass by their door for quite some time to come.

¡azúcar!

¡El dios debe amar Salsa tropical!
