What a beauty this is! From the superlative opening cut "Ariñañara" through "Hot & Heavy" this is a dancers dream record. New York's Eddie Torres, dancer with Tito Puente's band for years — and one of the world's most recognized mambo dancers, along with Oscar Hernandez, put together a very exciting band that exudes the lush mambo dance band sound of yesterday. No pyrotechnics or synthesizers here, only the swing that's required for the dance floor. Get it. Lead vocals by Jimmy Sabater, Sammy Gonzalez, Luis Rosa, and Ray Rico.
"Great dance music in the big band tradition, with brilliant players and Jimmy Sabater, Sammy Gonzalez and other singers. 'Wow, what a feeling!'" (Nina Lenart, 98/99 Catalog)
"Superlatives are inadequate in describing the libidinous sounds which should arouse any listeners. A must have CD for salsa dancers." (Max Salazar, 98/99 Catalog)
"Despite the name of dance teacher Torres on the cover, this album is really the creation of co-musical directors Oscar Hernandez and Mitch Frohman. In terms of straight-ahead salsa, this is about as good as it gets. Tight and smokin', with great vocals by, among others, Jimmy Sabater." (Mark Holston, 96/97 Catalog) (BP, 2008-12-22)
