Editor's Pick:
Okay folks, it’s finally here -- the salsa release we’ve been asking for, the one that should have been made years ago. Send out the invites, crank this way up and you’ll have the salsa dance party of the year. With his debut release as a bandleader, conguero George Delgado has tapped into the nectar of the Grand Spirit of Salsa, and started a devastating uncontrollable gusher. This boy has been around the block. As the rhythmic timekeeper and groovemaster of Conjunto Libre, Spanish Harlem Orchestra, Soneros Del Barrio and so on, Delgado was already proven entity. It was only a matter of time until he called some of his buddies together to lay down some tracks. So, in comes the likes of Jimmy Bosch, Ricky Gonzalez, Frankie Vazquez, Nelson Gonzalez, Herman Olivera, Mario Rivera, Alfredo De La Fé and many others (ok, Delgado has a lot of friends). Special Great-Job-Wink to vocalist Julio Salgado who kicks butt on the New York sessions. So, with a suitcase full of hard-core arrangements by Delgado, José Madera, Louie Cruz, Pablo “Chino” Nuñez, Ricky G, and Julo Alvarado, these guys decided to, once and for all, raise the bar for Salsa Dura. Did they succeed? Stop reading this stupid review and get this CD. Go ahead click Add to Cart. Now.
Super DJ Alert. I’m just pissed that George didn’t get me a copy in time for our Best of 2004 list. Oh well. I’ll just have to squeeze it into 2005. Hell, I’m the editor.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2004-12-29)
