f you're crazy about authentic Cuban salsa (1) and jazz soaked in irresistible Afro-Cuban percussion and at the same time about New Orleans second line brass jazz and R'n'B groove, this album of the Cuban conjunto ¡Cubanismo! recorded in New Orleans with an array of local musicians, presented as John Boutté & The Yockamo All-Stars, was probably made specially for you!

One of the initiators of the project, producer Joe Boyd, qualifies this musical encounter as a “collision” between two musical cultures. The other initiator was the leader of ¡Cubanismo!, Cuban trumpet blower Jesùs Alemañy.
