Released 1993;
Produced by FranFerrer
Editor's Pick:
Finally back in stock, this absolute classic 2-CD set from 1993 features Puerto Rico's most accomplished salsa musicians and vocalists. Burning hot from beginning to end. This is a must-have, and is now a collector's item. Highly recommended.
"The best all-star conglomeration ever assembled out of Puerto Rico, producing top-rate tropical music and Latin jazz." (Rudolph Mangual, 98/99 Catalog)
"Puerto Rico's finest musicians and singers in an explosion of creativity. You get two CDs produced by the eclectic Frank Ferrer who has been responsible for the progressive music movement in Puerto Rico over the last fifteen years, as well as documenting it on recordings. This 1993 release is centered around legendary Puerto Rican percussionist Angel 'Cachete' Maldonado and his hand picked colleagues performing in a variety of Afro-Cuban and Afro-Rican genres. ¡Gracias Frank y Cachete!" (Bobby Sanabria, 98/99 Catalog)
"A must-have double album of vocal and instrumental gems. An abundance of jazzy touches, both brazen and subtle, in an explosive all-star session that literally throbs with vitality and takes the music to the next level." (Mark Holston, 96/97 Catalog)
"Talk about an all-star cast! This project was a delightful surprise, considering the rareness of a non-commercial concept in the world of 'salsa romántica.' It's like Batacumbele on steroids! In spite of the unfortunately out-of-tune piano, Eric Figueroa manages to bypass the producer's obvious lack of attention to this matter, and churn out some of his best piano work on record. Percussionists Cachete, Anthony Carrillo and Endel Dueño, together with drummer Alex Acuña, create a powerful and free-flowing groove. The horn section features the brilliant work of Juancito Torres and Piro Rodríguez on trumpets, Papo Vázquez on trombone and Mario Rivera on saxophones. And the combination and variety of the singers on this record gives each piece a unique spark - Jerry Medina's voice, in particular, still blows me away!" (Rebeca Mauleón, 96/97 Catalog)
"Gather up Puerto Rico's cream-of-the-crop soneros and musicians, package their superb performances in a double CD set and the result is sheer exhilaration for the listener. This effort is also mastered beautifully, and producer Fran Ferrer deserves acclaim and congratulations." (Vicki Solá, 96/97 Catalog) (BP, 2008-05-13)
