Las Hermanas Márquez !! Paquito D'Rivera Presents (2003)

"Iconic Cuban trio formed in 1933 in Cuba. The Márquez sisters were born in the bosom of a very musical household that included a total of 14 siblings. Their father played guitar and percussion, while their mother was an inspired composer. All the brothers and sisters played some kind of instrument but only Cusa, Trini, and Nerza decided to go professional as Las Hermanas Márquez. After becoming locally prominent performing all over Oriente, the sisters made the big time in 1940 when they were booked by CMQ Radio in Havana. Their voices, perfectly coordinated in three-part harmonies, united to a enthusiastic singing style and their virtuosity as musicians, turned Las Hermanas Márquez into national celebrities." (imdb) "Cuban music played during the years of the republic at get-togethers. Las Hermanas Marquez with their voices and guitars, along with the flawless saxophone and clarinet playing of Paquito D'Rivera, make this record a delight to listen to and an invitation to sing-along."
