Johnny Pacheco
Entre Amigos
CD
(Bronco 175),
Released 2004;
Editor's Pick:
That right, folks -- a *new* maestro Johnny Pacheco release, his first solo project in more than a decade (the 1993 “Sima!” was his prior release). And what a great gift from the Prince of Salsa this is! I know of no other who can offer a better blend of machismo and elegance in Latin dance music. This mega blast of salsa magic brings a boat-load of invited guests into the studio: Bobby Valentin, Roberto Roena, Papo Lucca, Nelson Gonzalez, Dave Valentin, Arturo Sandoval, Ricky Gonzalez and others. Did I mention the singers? Listen to this: Gilberto Santa Rosa, Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda, Adalberto Santiago, Tito Rojas, Jose Alberto "El Canario," Michael Stewart, Herman Olivera, Ray Viera, Hector Casanova and Johnny Ventura. Need I say more? I will. The best material here conjures the essence of Pacheco’s superlative collaborations with Pete El Conde, Justo Betancourt, Monguito, and, of course, Celia Cruz. Here Pacheco crystallizes the classic New York salsa sound -- and spirit -- the way no one else could have. This one is a must-have. DJ Alert.
Highly Recommended. (BP, 2004-12-29)
