This album is a spin off from a single released by Sammy Mojica a few years back under the same title (and the same title track, translated “Cuba for Christ”), and it’s full of delightful Latino rhythms, excellent musicianship and clear Christian messages. Blue Angels Karen Sibilia and Jimmy Medina turn up to join in and Tony himself bravely takes vocal duties in Spanish on seven tracts, some of which are translations of old Angels’ classics such as “Touched By Love” and “See The Valley”. Given the poverty-stricken nature of the Cuban economy, Tony gives these CDs away when he’s there, but we in affluent West have no excuses; dig deep and buy this, it’s a good album in a good cause, and even if your Spanish is as bad as mine, you’ll find blessing from it.
