Hialeah Social ClubRelegated to silence for many years, hundreds of recordings of orchestras and Cuban soloists from Miami are now receiving high praise in the international music industry. Many of these recordings, which lingered in obscurity for many years due to lack of major label interest and little or no marketing, occupy shelves in the most important record stores all over Europe - infused in the growing devotion for the rhythms of the island since 1997, when the international phenomenon of Buena Vista Social Club sparked a resurgence of interest in authentic Cuban music.
This compilation of recordings are musical narratives placed in a transitional emotional order that tells the story of Cuban "exile" artists who now reside in the Hialeah section of Miami. The influence of the exiled musicians that migrated to Miami after the 1959 embargo has informed the modern sound of Miami for many years and is undeniable. Miami Sound Machine, KC & The Sunshine Band - they are merely reflections of the original sound, a sound that has long been forgotten - until now. Hialeah has always been a city unto itself, a unique city within Miami - a world that outsiders rarely penetrate, but if you look within its borders, you will find the missing chapter in the history of Cuban music.
