Los Barba recorded many albums (my brother, Juan Carlos Gonzalez, was its lead; he wrote, arranged, and produced all the band's music while also playing numerous instruments); however, because the band refused to declare support of the Communist regime, the band was black-listed in Cuba, and its travels out of the country were forbidden.
I'll start by saying that I haven't listened to Si, Para Usted: Volume 1, so I don't know whether Volume 2 is better, or worse, or merely different. According to the booklet: "This volume continues where the first left off, but we shift our curatorial focus just a little. Like the rest of the tracks on the album "Safari Salvaje" sounds less frenetic than the music some Cuban émigrés were making on the mainland. The absence of riotous strut on an album subtitled "funky beats" is striking. The strut is here - in the brass at the start of Los Brito's "Cuando Llegro a mi Casa", for example - but it's cool, creamy, or fluttering, not rough-edged, not nasty. A chorus lifts its arms to the sun, a flute purrs, the male vocalist of "Suspirando por el Chickichaka" lays out a soft rock tenor.
