Released 2006;
Editor's Pick:
Finally, here's the official 2-DVD release of the famed 30th Aniversario performance from Raphy Leavitt y La Selecta. This pivotal show was previously released as a 2-CD set — something I reviewed quite favorably when it was released in 2003. Well, the DVD is equally collectable, and no wonder: it's virtually the same track listing as the CD set. But here, of course, you get to see the band performing — which is pretty special especially for those of us who haven't yet had the pleasure of attending a live Selecta show.
Below is my review from '03. It still holds true ...I've changed "2-CD" to read "2-DVD":
One of the most popular salsa bands in Puerto Rico for three decades has not, in my opinion, received their due recognition outside of the island. Perhaps this 30th anniversary 2-DVD live straight-ahead, no nonsense salsa package will set the record straight. Very well recorded and mixed for a live show, this release packs in 20 of Mr. Leavitt's most well known titles like "Somos El Son, "Payaso", "El Buen Pastor" and "Jibaro Soy."
There is a lot of salsa here, and it's all good.
Pianist and composer Mr. Leavitt represents pure, unadulterated Puerto Rican salsa at its best. The real deal.
Very Highly Recommended. (BP, 2006-06-09)
