Allmusic | [1] |
The Allmusic review by Marc Gilman awarded the album 4 stars, stating, 'The mastery and vision of the enduring Marc Ribot shine through on this release... it is an excellent album'.[1]
The Miami New Times' Michael Roberts noted 'Postizos doesn't so much reproduce Rodriguez's music as it reimagines it from a decidedly avant-garde perspective'.[3]
On The A.V. Club Joshua Klein wrote 'The record is about as authentic as any of Ribot's other stylistic excursions, but it's far more straight-faced and therefore decidedly respectable'.[4]
Los Cubanos San Jose
Variety's Phil Gallo said 'Atlantic stands to do well with the disc as Cuban styles, particularly the son, are being embraced on these shores. “Cubanos Positivos,” which translates to prosthetic Cubans, is more homage than reproduction, embraceable for listeners regardless of which side of the Latin-American fence they’re coming from. More so than his other albums, the disc is accessible from start to finish'.[5]

Guitarist Marc Ribot is well-known and respected for his session work with the likes of Tom Waits and Elvis Costello, as well as his association with John Zorn and other downtown New York experimental musicians. Like several others in that scene, Ribot has formed a group to create an outlet for an interest in ethnic music, in this case, the music of the late Cuban composer, instrumentalist, and bandleader Arsenio Rodriguez, who wrote most of the tunes on this CD. The result is a well-crafted album that should bring Cuban music to a whole new audience. The album's overall feel is understated--on many cuts it's just Ribot, a bassist, a drummer, and a percussionist. Ribot's guitar solos are always highly articulate and he has a great command over a variety of tones. A few cuts also feature organ (either frequent Zorn collaborator Anthony Coleman or John Medeski), and Ribot even takes a couple of spoken vocals on 'No Me Llores Mas' and 'La Vida Es Un Sueno.' The production is spare and uncluttered, giving it a live band sound. Anyone who enjoyed the Latin Playboys' album or Ry Cooder's Buena Vista Social Club is sure to respond to Ribot and company's quirky take on Cuban music.
