Rezos (2002)

"Born in Cuba, and a Yoruba priestess, Bobi brings a strong Afro-Cuban sensibility to the material here. But there's a lot more going on here, like drum loops and some jazz licks, along with the more traditional call-and-response vocals. It's all wonderfully melodic. The arrangements, by Oriente Lopez, are adventurous, using Rahsaan Fredricks' bass and One Drop Scott's hip-hop drum programming sparingly but subtly, but mostly letting the songs breathe and Céspedes' voice shine -- which it does. She positively sashays through. Céspedes' album might have been a long time coming, but it's more than worth the wait, with its golden mix of yesterday and tomorrow." (Allmusic).
