Tempestad starts out just right: Saa singing against percussion, as if to say that he’s not going to fool around with pop salsa. And the record bears Saa out; Saa, one of the lead singers of the Colombian band Grupo Niche, settles immediately into a great groove. At its best Tempestad gets the sort of explosive power of a classic Willie Rosario recording; the comparison doesn’t end there, either. Saa’s harnessed the horn power of the best of the Puerto Rican bands, using a heavy baritone sound to build a foundation for the trombones and trumpets. Saa pushes his voice to its limits, sounding a bit like a younger Tito Rojas, and the tempos never rush, always taking their time. The tunes have an all night swing to them, with good, melodic coros; this is manna for club D.J.s; it’ll keep a club moving till the sun comes up.
Highly Recommended. (Peter Watrous, 2008-02-04)
