Ruben Blades
Bohemio Y Poeta
CD
(Fania Codigo 509011),
Released 1979;
Re-Issued 2010
Editor's Pick:
"Before he became a movie star/Harvard lawyer/Panamanian politician, Blades made some terrific recordings for Fania, and this is one of them. Many folks now take him for granted, but his singing and wonderful songwriting place him in the pantheon of the greatest Latin artists." (George De Stefano, 94/95 Catalog)
Rubén had achieved superstar status in the salsa world when Fania decided to put out this anthology of his important early recordings made for the stable between 1975 and 1978 with Ray Barretto, the Fania All Stars, Willie Colón and Louie Ramírez. Essential, particularly if you don't own all the albums the tracks originate from.
Highly recommended. (John Child, 2010-07-07)
