(Codiscos 11301),
Released 2002;
Editor's Pick:
I don’t know if Diego Gale has made some sort of deal with the devil, but the use of black magic seems like the only explanation: This guy has been granted the gift of salsa -- everything he is involved with turns to dance music gold. After a series of releases under the names Quinto Mayor, Son Charanga, and Homenaje Al Grupo Niche con Los Grandes de La Salsa, as well as contributions to Sonora Carruseles, Mr. Gale has has released 20 De Julio under the prestigious family name.
Once again, Gale does not disappoint. His salsa is sharp, percussive, and hot -- epitomized by “Salsa Con Gale,” a straight to the point dance club track that does not leave room for sentiment. It’s a slamming statement of the Gale mission: Forget pretense, forget about making an art statement, forget any tricks and novelty; just make great Salsa that makes them dance.
This one includes a terrific tribute to Pete El Conde Rodriguez.
Look, not every track is great... if that were the case it would make that pact with the devil all too obvious. No, Gale is too smart for that. But *almost* every track is great, and that’s good enough for me.
Highly recommended. (BP, 2002-06-22)
