	PROYECTO COMPARSA ORIENTAL
		Comparsa groups can be compared with the Samba schools of the Brazilian carnival.
		The Corneta China (Chinese horn) with its high-pitched, penetrating sound is an especially noticeable instrument in the comparsa, along with percussion instruments such as bocú, quinto, redoblante, requinto and campanas; el can and maní tostao (referring to the rhythms).
		For Proyecto Comparsa Oriental musicians from various Afro-Cuban folkloric groups of Santiago got together: Jorge Ramirez Randiche and Pablo Reynoso Despaigne from Conjunto Folklorico de Oriente, Juan Carlos Menendez and Miguel García from Son Caliente, Alberto Calzado Conjunto Gloria Latina and Alexis Rojas Montero who participated in various bands and initiated this project.

	"Comparsa" disappointing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Unfortunately, Comparsa, its third album, is a letdown.
		Comparable to Deep Forest¹s previous albums, Comparsa, ("partners" in Spanish), breaks new musical ground and is distinct from its other work.
		Comparsa is more energetic than Boheme, but the cheesy '80s-style keyboard effects and robotic voice in a few of the songs are grating.

		Comparsa means "stage company" or "masquerade group." The dance, a Cuban tradition with African roots, is performed in long conga lines, usually in the streets during public celebrations.
		Fernandez recalls that, when she was a girl in pre-Castro Cuba, each town or province had its own color for comparsa costumes, and that there were competitions for the best dancing and for the group that could dance the longest without stopping.
		The comparsa tradition in Key West was established in 1938, when Abelardo Boza founded the original "Cayo Hueso Comparsas." His group, nicknamed "Los Dandys de Boza," flourished until his death a few years ago.
