Vibes-based cover of "Usted Abuso," male and femal

[HothouseSalsero]

I've heard this twice now, this summer. I don't remember having heard it previously, but it doesn't really sound new either. It's a cover of "Usted Abuso," a duet between male and female vocalists I don't recognize. It definitely uses vibraphones, maybe not throughout the whole song, but that sound is one of the things that stood out about it. It has a nice floating sort of swing to it.

(It's not the version from Haila's tribute to Celia Cruz, not that that has vibes, but just in case someone was itching to mention it.)

Thanks, that's the one. Have you heard the whole album, and if so, what do you think of it? I'm checking out some clips, wondering if it's worth buying the whole thing.

It's interesting that this is Jimmy Sabater, since I don't care for the songs I've heard from his heyday with Joe Cuba. And who is Ada Chabrier? I like her singing here. I don't even remember seeing this CD listed anywhere, but it's on the descarga.com site, so I probably did give it a quick looking over.
