Cucu Diamantes solo debut “Cuculand” is awesome. Great voice, great music – Available February 24th, 2009

I have already listened to it many, many times and find myself enjoying it more and more. Of course I love Yerba Buena and in case you didn’t know she is their lead singer but this is something new and great and all from her. I highly recommend Cuculand as do others as you can see from the quotes below from her PR firm. – Tomás

Tastemaker Anticipation Quickly Building For The Early March  Release of Cucu Diamantes’ Solo Debut Cuculand

The Co-Founder and Principal Vocalist of Yerba Buena Delivers A Multi-Cultural Fusion Of Latin Rhythm, New York Funk, Cabaret Glamour And Feminine Strength

“Listen To This: Cuchifrito! We heart Cucu Diamantes because…

1) She’s a fellow Cubana!  2) She’s fabulous!  3) She used to be in one of our favorite Latin bands, the critically acclaimed and loved by us Yerba Buena.

Now, Cucu has gone solo and her first single is candela. Sizzling hot!!!!!!!

Even if you don’t understand Spanish, you will love love love this song. Listen to Alguien and be dazzled with how fast Diamantes sings on it and how catchy the song is.” – Perez Hilton, 02/03/09

“As expected, Cucu takes us by surprise and hits hard… her ‘Cuculand’ is an all out, frenzied explosion of freshness, a cyclone of creativity and irony…  For weeks now, I cannot go without listening to it at least once a day, if not twice. Not only does it put me in the best mood, in great spirits, but it also keeps me moving… If what you want is to hear something new, then you have it here and it’s called “Cuculand”- sung, told and performed by Cucu. “La Descará” (the fearless one).”

- Miguel Bosé (Translated.)

“Cucu Diamantes debuts as a soloist with the captivating and seductive album Cuculand… it boils with fusions of rock, boogaloo, hip-hop, funk, jazz and  Antillean rhythms with lyrics focused on female dignity … CUCULAND is pure rhythm with deep and reflective lyrics, and you will not want to skip a single track… Cucu Diamantes’ album might very well be one of the most pleasing musical surprises of the dawn of 2009”– David Dorantes, LA Voz/Houston Chronicle (translated)

“watching Cucu Diamantes gyrating while wearing an American flag-patterned ball gown was thrilling… the Cucu Diamantes/Yerba Buena Set [was] explosive”-Washington Post

“…music that represented America’s disparate Hispanic population… Cucu Diamantes wore a skin-tight stars-and-stripes dress and added a new phrase to her song ‘Still in Love’: [‘Oye Obama Bienvenido a Washington’] For a night, Washington got some Latin flair.” – Jon Pareles, New York Times
