Next to the Buena Vista Social Club, France-based Cuban rappers Ruzzo, Yotuel, Flaco-Pro, and Roldan--a.k.a. the Orishas--were quite recently the hottest musical export from that forbidden island to hit these shores in years. Now, riding on the heels of their international debut A lo Cubano, Emigrant continues the group's soulful syncretism of African-American rap and Afro-Cuban percussion and musical genres. The combo, which is now a trio, adds its patented conga-coded syncopations to the bling-bling hip-hop beats, especially on the synth-trenched "Que Pasa?" (What's Happenin'?) the horn-driven "Ninos" (Children), and "Habana" (Havana). Make no mistake, this CD can bounce alongside any tracks performed by stateside Latino superstars, from Fat Joe to Big Pun. --Eugene Holley, Jr.

Customer Reviews

asere, que bola?
orishas comes back with another amazing record!! this cd had me completely hooked!! as if "a lo cubano" wasn't amazing enough, the guys from orishas come back with a bang. even without flaco-pro, who had some serious skills. he left the group about 4 shows into a tour because his brother got in with some bad people in miami. he was killed, and flaco-pro turned to booze. but be on the look out for flaco, because word is he's still writing and collaborating and recording...
anyway, i can't wait til "el kilo," their third cd drops march 29th. i saw a video online of "naci orishas" (the first single) online and it's incredible!!

Good, but not as good as their first album
First of all, I am a huge rap and hip hop fan. I own albums from just about every rapper out there. Orishas first album "A lo Cubano" is one of my favorite rap albums of all time. "Emigrante" is a good encore for them but they clearly miss Flaco-Pro who in my opinion was by far their best flower and rhyme spitter. Apparently he had a falling out with the rest of them. He is the reason that their first album was so good. Without him, it seems that they got away from rap and went into more hip hop which is fine. Emigrante is good, but Orishas badly misses Flaco-Pro.

3rd Release By Orishas!
Orishas's 3rd work's release date is not official yet but will must likely come out around September 20th.... so be on the look out!

Their new work promises to be another classic just like "A Lo Cubano"....and they are also coming to USA on tour later this year....!

They Simply Rock!
