Yumatics, The
90 Miles To Yuma
The Yumatics play Cuban music with strong elements of Americana. Deeply rooted in traditions from both sides of the Florida Straight, their Alter-Cubano sound crosses linguistic and musical borders, songs are in Spanish, English and Spanglish. The Yumatics arent dabblers, they arent alchemists, they are an intercultural musical encounter that brings together sounds from the social worlds that produced them, the best of those worlds. 90 Miles to Yuma was recorded at Radio Progreso Studios in Havana, Cuba and Pure Cuban Sugar Studios in Portland, Oregon. Laden with moments, solid songwriting, exceptional musicianship and memorable songs, 90 Miles to Yuma pulls you from one song to the next, an album that gives a glimpse of Americana - A Lo Cubano.
