Editor's Pick:
"'Rican/Struction' remains an undisputable example of 'música gorda.' The arrangements, done by Oscar Hernandez, Eddie Martinez, Gil Lopez, and Dick Mesa are devastating. Every time I revisit this album, I am absolutely 'wowed' by it. It should be required listening for students of the music." (Vicki Solá, 98/99 Catalog)
"Oh Knock Me Out! Ray goes electric on this famous album!" (Phil Riggio, 98/99 Catalog)
"Ray has always been a master of combining roots and avant-garde elements in a fresh, uncommonly effective way. This 1979 date is one of his best--the jazzy tour de force 'Algo Nuevo' alone is worth the price of admission." (Mark Holston, 96/97 Catalog)
"Ray's high standards, both personally and professionally, always seem to speak to me through his music. Wherever the laser beam lands on this CD, it shines, in terms of material, arrangements, and musicianship." (Vicki Solá, 96/97 Catalog)
"It's very hard to choose one RB release, but I settled on this because it is simply flawless. All the compositions (and arrangements) are excellent, especially the jazzy 'Tumbao Africano,' which allows the musicians to stretch out and solo. Vocals by Adalberto Santiago are great, too." (Nina Lenart, 94/95 Catalog)
Barretto at the height of his salsa career. Of all the different players he had in his band through the years, this was the best group yet. Adalberto Santiago on vocals. (BP, 2006-05-20)
