February 11, 2011. '100 Sones Cubanos.' Tucked among the salsa and Latin pop hitmakers in the best tropical Latin album category is "100 Sones Cubanos" (J&N Records), a boxed set that's a labor of love: five CDs and a documentary DVD about the Cuban son, the music that is one of the foundations of current Latin music.

The producers polled Cubans about which classic songs to include, then recorded current performers playing them live and unplugged. It's a trove of songs of work and love, of dancing and tragedy, of food and Afro-Cuban religion, not the vintage recordings of these well-known songs, but a testimonial that in Cuba this music is alive and vivid.By JON PARELES.
